Anyone out here try long iso holds... I mean like iso extreme holds in a lunge position. A coach call jay Schroeder used to have his athletes hold these position for upto 5 minutes. I'm currently a physical therapy student and I'm looking at ways to deal with tendonopathy and tendonitis injuries, particularly insertional knee and achilles. I've been doing an iso lunge hold for 2 minutes 30 secs lately as part of my warm up, it certainly get the muscles firing but I'm not convinced yet if it's helping my tenon strength.

I suppose I'm trying to tie this in with force absorption, I mean for example every time you land. I'm 6'5 and weigh 225, body fat 14% but I think my foot contact makes me look like a goy 50 lbs overweight. If I do a depth jump even from a 12 inch height, I'm really slow taking off again. Probably this failure to absorb the shock leads to injuries. My leg strength is good, my arches are high but there's something missing, that's why I'm trying the iso holds seeing if this will help increase tendon strength and help with improve amortization phase.

Would love to hear from anybody whose got any thoughts on this..
