With the on-going rise in the coronavirus pandemic, home workouts have become the new norm for everyone looking to achieve their aesthetic and performance goals. It could become frustrating for many that don't have access to equipment to create an effective program to meet their needs. Isometrics have become incredibly useful for a multitude of reasons.

In this episode, Julian dives deep into what makes them effective, why they are so important to your goals, and more importantly, how you should be using them to create a program that'll keep you on pace towards your goals.
