hey guys
I've been a really small kid for awhile - 5'5", 115 or so lbs. I'd consider myself to be in shape for my size, if that's possible lol

Basically, I'm tired of being small.

I researched isometric excercises for a little bit and came up with a routine I've been doing for about 3 weeks -

Every other day
40 situps
25-30 pushups
10 reps of the pillow pec deck thing
and I try to skate about a mile every day.

There's a huge gym at the college I'm at, but I don't wanna go there by myself and look like a dick not being able to lift anything.

wat
just be confident
also if you want to work out, be proportional to your height.
Don't try to get xbawkz hueg mussels because you'd look weird. Or at least that's what I think of the people with mussels not proportionate to their body.

Isometrics are great for smaller guys because they produce more of a wirey look then a hueg-muscle look. They're also easier on your joints and give better strength gains when done correctly.

Thing is, what you've described isn't isometics. Sit ups and push ups aren't isometrics.

If you want to do a quick isometric exercise, find something of a medium weight. Enough that lifting it 10 times wouldn't tire you out but you would have to exert yourself a bit.

Now, instead of lifting it, just hold it straight out. And keep holding it straight out until you can't anymore. At first it will feel like nothing. Ten seconds in you should start feel your muscles fatiguing. 20-30 seconds in those muscles should be burning.

Same fag

One isometric exercise I like to do is swim laps while holding an inflatable ball under water with one arm, straight out just below the surface.

You do 10 laps in 25m pool (standard size at most colleges, half an olympic size), alternating hands so you do 5 with each arm.

Every single muscle in your arm is tired at the end, and in the mean time you just swam a quarter mile.
