Say for instance that if your objective is to kick a door off it's hinges, your training to improve your speed/explosivity using plyometrics or other means will help with initial part of the movement and with the movement itself, but at the moment when your foot makes contact with the door, that's when a strong isometric contraction can make a difference. It's what I've been thinking, although I don't know if this line of thinking is correct.
Chris, I think your line of thinking is right on the money. I synergistically apply plyometric and isometric exercises as punch-specific as I can for the above rationale among other things. You and I are on the same wavelength my friend. Great minds think alike... ;)
