I thought that sort of thing was sorted out with a $7 strap with loops. Or a couple bits of pipe and a rope with loops knotted in it.

Even a wooden dowel preferably 1.5" diameter works well with resistance tubing and flat bands .

That Janquish guy had a bunch of really suspect medical claims before, he sold a sort of isometrics workout chair or rather I think he leased them out to health clubs.

The Sierra Iso / Suspension Trainer and a couple of pieces of pipe varying in diameter to serve as handles are all a person would need to train iso's to their limits. It's what I use, and I really don't personally see a need for anything else. I'd also recommend a pair of HOOK handles to be used for iso's and for when using the Sierra strap for suspension exercises. *** If for some reason an iso aficionado also felt the need to track progress through numbers, just loop the Sierra strap under a heavy duty scale, step on the scale and pull to your hearts content....  |

I second what Magnus said. Having the Sierra Iso/Suspension Trainer I don't need anything else for isometrics.

I second what Magnus said. Having the Sierra Iso/Suspension Trainer I don't need anything else for isometrics. I made that statement and now realize it's not entirely true, totally forgot about my Bullworkers... T wouldn't say they're absolutely necessary for iso's, but I definitely also enjoy doing iso's utilizing my Bullworkers, particularly my X5 Gold lately. What a great piece of equipment, I'd say between an X5 and Shen's Iso / Suspension strap with a pair of HOOKS a person would have everything they really needed to go a long way with this stuff. |

The X3 is not an isometric device.

The X3 is not an isometric device. OK, I just watched the full video here and then looked up this "Dr." and watched a few more vids by him. I could be wrong but my 'con man' internal alarm bells definitely started ringing with this guy... At that purchase price a person would have to be the president and CEO of the 'More Money Than Brains Club' to actually buy that thing, and although the "Dr." might showcase the X3 to members of the general exercise clueless masses with only isotonic exercises and not advertise the isometric potential of his wares, any one of us knows better... |

....the "Dr." actually reminds me of the guy in the 'finance' dept. down at the car dealership that you're forced to complete the paperwork with, while he try's to upsell you the various extended warranties and other total crap  |

Ok I watched the video also. What's that guy smoking? He acts like that's the only thing that will work. I'll stick w the Sierra cables and Hook.
