Flexing and posing as exercise?

[big_boy_1]

Has anyone tried flexing, specially if grabbing some very heavy or unmovable object say a wall.

Its an incredible hard exercise, specially when dont have time to train.

By an unknown reason use of bormocriptine gives me incredible strength when flexing, in fact so hard it hurts, see:

Isometrics, I believe. The extent of their benefit varies from person to person.

Be careful not to blow a gasket if you have high blood pressure.

Bro i have always wondered the same thing- it has to help as it is contracting the muscle and putting it under stress- if anything mainly for cutting, def. not gaining as u need more resistance and movement! But yeh i do it all the time and notice leanness and fullness also. my wife looks at me strange tho but she knows i am already!

Isometric movements are really popular in some branches of the martial arts, so they have to serve some purpose.

Muscle endurance, maybe?

I'm sure a stress like that would engorge the muscle with blood, making it fuller, as well.

Arent pushups kinda similar...of course it helps!
