The isometric mid-thigh pull involves isometrically loading the grip, shoulders, feet, quads, and hips by pulling a bar against safety bars or a rack at mid-thigh height.

“It's kind of a standard in the sport science world where you have a bar and you basically calibrate the machine to where um the bar is about the mid thigh and is almost like the the very top of a deadlift and you just pull but the bar doesn't get to move. And the sensory input is like the force decks and they're and they're measuring your balance of your force and all these other cool metrics. But holding that over time, we're now isometrically loading the heck out of my grip. We're loading the heck out of my shoulders. We're getting into my feet, my quads, my hips, and I'm just holding that for time.”

“That sets all these tendons up. And you just do this with a super super heavy loaded bar that's too big for you to lift. Not necessarily. You can actually do an empty bar, but you pull it up against the safety bars or the rack or something like that. Isometric thigh pull is the thing to look up. But there's a lot of ways to load these heavy isometrics because that gets your tissues ready”
