Pictured here are Cathe, Al, and Kristin doing a seated overhead press with an isometric hold. This is an intense combination compound exercise that simultaneously combines an isometric front raise with a dynamic overhead press.

There is so much intense muscle-building going on in this one exercise. The arm doing the isometric exercise holds a lighter weight than the dynamic side since it will be in a static hold for 30 seconds acting as a stabilizer to work both endurance and strength. The arm performing the compound press holds heavier weight to build solid strength and hypertrophy.

This exercise is performed in a seated position to eliminate all momentum and make the muscles work even harder. No worries if you don’t want to do this exercise seated as there is a standing option performed as well. Performing this exercise combination can help increase muscle endurance, muscular strength, and will also help to improve overall muscle performance.

Cathe has 5’s so it must be tough!!! I’m glad she’ll be letting us know what weights she’s using because some exercises like this, when she goes light, it’s a good indicator for me to stay light with my weights!
