Like if I clench my fists and muscles hard enough and imagine holding these weights, is it pretty much the same?
In: Chemistry
Much like imagining you’re eating food will not get you any nutrients, imagining you’re drinking water will not hydrate you, imagining you’re exercising will not exercise you.
The closest to what you are thinking of would probably be isometric exercises. These are ones where you contract a muscle while not actually moving, either through stabilizing with other muscles or using an outside force. These aren’t generally done for strength training or endurance for various reasons, but can help with stability and strengthening some particular targeted muscles.
