Calisthenic isometric exercises are great for building muscle and strength, but people often practice them incorrectly.
Some people practice super intense isometric exercise they can only hold for a few seconds. This method can build strength, but there's not much time to fatigue the muscle and stimulate muscle growth. Others do the opposite and use low-intensity exercises they can hold for whole minutes at a time. This uses a great deal of time, but the intensity is often too low.

That's why a moderate amount of resistance for 15-45 seconds may be best for building muscle with isometric exercises.
