Michael, The belt has to be longer because you double it on itself to form loops (if you are on Facebook go to the Transformetrics page and look at the October 19th video to see what I mean). I made one from a slackline. I will give JP this, the loops do allow for a greater contraction than just gripping a single part of a strap (see the September 13th Transformetrics Facebook post). I found the longer strap a pain to deal with, though. I have found handles allow for an even greater level of contraction than the loops. Putting a fixed handle on one end of a length of webbing and attaching a second adjustable handle to the other end is great. You also don't need as long of a piece of webbing if you do it this way. Of course, Shen's strap and handles would work well for greater contraction, too. I have found the same thing with Bruce's Hook Handles, a much stronger contraction. I prefer the Sierra Isometric/Suspension Trainer. So the belt is just longer to provide loops?

Sounds like a new twist to the belt saga... JP HAS GONE MISSING!

It's possible that there is some kind of issue going on but this particular exchange seems odd somehow... maybe it's me.

Quick dial 911, let them know and callout the national guard, also get in touch with Trump. I am already on the phone to MI6 after all this an international emergency.

And now Benny has deleted himself. Perhaps his mission is complete. Funny stuff!

Whoah! Benny deleted himself?? How in the hell did that happen? I'm admin of this forum and I didn't even know that members could self delete. I never though of it. I hope Benny did delete himself and that it's not mischief on the part of someone I know.
Maybe Benny got a call from Blow Central telling him to get the fuck out out of here.

I wouldn't worry. JP's probably having a melt down. In ten years he has never released anything on dates he said he would. And now, with this next day announcement, he painted himself into the mother of all corners and can't meet his commitment. He's probably curled up in a closet with the door shut, clutching his security blanket.

Does he still have those privileges then? Anyway Benny can still post as a guest, if it wasn't him.

I don't see how JP comes through this unscathed. Far far far too many over promise under deliver on the entire amorphous "Living Strength" front. I predict it's going to be a whole lot more silent on the transformetric site at least until some new members with no knowledge of history show up.

This is the best I can give. You want proof, here you go, let's leave it behind and move on. PROOF!! There it is, folks! The undeniable proof! Seeing is believing, and there can be no shadow of a doubt now that Benny is PROVING that he does, in fact, have a very long strand of webbing! The PROOF is right there for all to see! It's fucking intimidating too, is what it is, and that's for sure by golly!

Well ladies and gentlemen
It's now the third day of March, still all quiet on the transformetrics website.
Say goodbye to the transformetrics website. I can see it closing down soon. John won't be on it for a few weeks and the forum members will keep it going for now but I have to agree that John has bitten off more than he can chew.
He's going to let a lot of people down with nothing to back him up.

He's on the third day of a three-day session of continuous Atlas III pushups while wearing a 52-pound weight vest. The belt and course will be available tomorrow, you'll see.
