Ism. Speed. What is it?
If you are a regular reader of this space, then you know that this is a topic that we have covered before. One of the most popular articles we have published was about Ism Speed Dating, which focused on helping you succeed in your dating life through speed dating. While we cannot promise that you will find your perfect date after one event, we do offer advice on how to conduct yourself so that you maximise your chance of finding love. And considering that love is one of the most important topics we address here, you can be sure that this is an area we will continue to explore.
What Is Ism?
If you are reading this, then you are probably wondering what Ism is. Well, not to worry, we are going to tell you!
Ism is an abbreviation for Instantaneous Strength Monitoring. This is a performance assessment system that allows you to quickly find the strength level of any muscle group in your body in under two minutes. This is much faster than most traditional strength testing methods, which can take as long as ten minutes to an hour and a half. When you combine Ism with a weight lifting app like ShapeScale, which we will discuss in more detail below, you get the perfect tool for someone who wants to assess and improve their strength quickly and easily. And while we have talked about strength many times on this blog, it is always a popular topic with our readers so it only makes sense that we continue to explore it further.
Why Is The Ism In Ism Speedway?
We have covered this topic before, but it still bears repeating. In the same way that gym-goers have their favourite sport teams, weight lifters have their favourite workout gear and coaches have their own pet peeves, people who train with Ism learn to have specific moves and words that they hate, despise and love. And for those who use it frequently, they even have a saying that they use to identify the exact moment when their muscles get fatigued and the workout becomes harder. This is called the “isometric spike” and happens when your muscles have been engaged in a rigorous workout. The spike typically lasts for about thirty seconds before the muscles begin to lose their strength.
And while it is normal to become desensitised to certain phrases and words after repeated use, that does not mean that those words or phrases do not continue to have value. In fact, the opposite is usually true as you will always remember the intense feeling that something similar used to give you. This is why we still cover this topic, even though it has been discussed to the point of redundancy, because there is always something new to learn. And in case you were wondering, the “ismic” in Ism comes from the Latin word “ismus”, which means “to fasten” or “to fix”. So, in other words, while it is a “one-stop shop” for muscle testing, the ism is essentially “fixing” your muscles into a position so you can measure their current strength.
How Ism Impacts Your Dating Life?
The answer to this question is pretty much everywhere. Ism enables you to objectively measure and track your strength. Meaning that you do not have to rely on your judgement when lifting weights or performing other physical activities. This is especially useful if you are new to working out or wanting to track your progress over time. Or if you are simply looking to change some quirks in your personality that you think may be holding you back in your dating life. The point is that Ism allows you to experiment with your physical self without risking injury or poor performance, thus giving you the confidence that you need to take that important step.
And while we cannot promise that Ism will help you find the love of your life, we can promise that it will help you find the confidence to find the right one. That, in turn, may very well lead you to your happily-ever-after. Now, if you will excuse us, we have a few more tips to share about dating and relationships.
