Yes and arguably more specific to weightlifting. The isometric component forces you to push it from the correct position though, which can be useful for reinforcing bar path with heavy weights.
My long term goals are to clean and jerk 180kg and deadlift 317.5kg (700lbs). I also want to squat 250kg x 5, but I think I willl achieve that in the near future.
