This is isometric training,heres a link to an article about it written by a friend of mine http://www.urbancombatives.com/iso_training.htm
Why does this myth, that weight training slows you down and makes you stiff, still exist ! Correct training with wieghts will not make you And differing approaches in the use of weights, will mean you don't have to bulk up. Though personally I've never understood this , irrational, fear of 'bulking up'. A good little one beats a bad big one, but a good big 'un beats all comers. Also , isometric exercises are useful, but of very limited effectiveness. So , as icefield says ,
One thing people with an irrational fear of bulking up need to realize is that the body builders with the extreme "bulk" do specific things to help them bulk up. Bulk doesn't just automatically happen to anyone who lifts weights. And, any changes in bulk, speed, and flexibility don't just happen overnight. On the off chance that you start to get less flexible or too bulky, you can change training regimen easily.
