- STRENGTHEN WEAK POINT OF MOVEMENT: perform the isometric at/near your sticking point to strengthen that part of the movement - ELIMINATE “LAZY” ISOMETRICS: prevents athletes from relaxing and not maintaining tension at the bottom portion of a movement (bar resting on chest during bench press, sitting on heels in squat) - SELF REGULATES TRAINING INTENSITY: perfect for high volume training because you cannot train at high intensities due to the majority of the volume occurring at the weak points of the movement - INCREASE TIME UNDER TENSION: accumulate large amounts of volume with minimal mechanical damage, due to very few total reps being performed over the course of a set - DIFFERENTIATE ECCENTRIC & CONCENTRIC PORTION OF LIFT: develop an understanding/awareness of which muscles should be lengthening/shortening during each portion of lift
