blag had posted this on the Moving Isometrics thread. I felt it lends itself to a whole new discussion. I wonder about the word, "Dynamic". It's actually a pretty generic word that can be applied to just about anything. It's really not descriptive in the way "Motion" is, as in Iso-Motion. I wonder if Charles Atlas was the first to use Dynamic as part of the name of a specific system of exercise? I know that Peterson tacked the word on to Self-Resistance and Visualized Resistance, as though his brand of DSR and DVR is somehow super-duper compared to just plain old SR and VR. Well, maybe the use of "Dynamic" in this application, or any exercise application, will result in another nit-picking fest that might continue on into the next decade. Anyway, the "Dynamic Isometrics" shown in the video is yet anther way to employ isometrics, different from Iso-Motion. If I were to do these Dynamic Isometric exercises, I would use a tool I made years ago: You let the thick rope slide through the foam bicycle grips as you move your hands into a positition from which you want to perform an isometric. And then you grip the handles and perform your isometric. It takes very little gripping power to hold the rope fast. I think that using something of this nature would be ideal for Dynamic Isometrics. It wouldn't have to be as elaborate with a rope going through the handles twice, it could simply be a couple of handles on a rope used in the manner shown in the video.

Mr "dynamic" isometrics aka primal punch has some useful YouTube entries .

of course, before the silly arguments start and this gets sidetracked, let's not forget that "dynamic isometrics" is just a name. Many such names fall apart if for some bizarre reason you decide to split the name up into individual words and check the dictionary definitions of each word separately. A lot of the time the individual words will have a completely different meaning to the two words combined. For example "hot dog", "moon pie", "the red lion" and "blow job" But back on track, this is a different type of exercise though so it does deserve some sort of name to identify it I agree, even the nit pickers (pun intended ) should be OK with this one I like the equipment idea, maybe even I could make that, didn't that old doorway gym use this concept, where holding the rope increased the friction so much that you couldn't move it anymore?

whiffet has wrapped his Sierra strap around a doorway chinning bar for friction resistance.

Speaking of Isometrics.....here's a gem : transformetrics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17413John Peterson John Peterson is offline Author John Peterson's Avatar Reply With Quote Join Date: Feb 2008 Posts: 12,874 Yesterday, 02:47 PM Hello Everyone, Just got off the phone with a physiologist from Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota that has been doing new research related to Isometric Contraction for therapeutic application. She had come across Isometric Power Revolution and decided to give me a call when she saw that I was located in Minneapolis. I was surprised at how long the list of questions was that she had. All in all It was a very enjoyable conversation and at the end I recommended that she check out the posts in our archives. She seemed to be amazed that I could answer every question that she had. I also told her that I had talked with Dr. Laurence E. Morehouse on many occasions as well as having discussed Isometric Contraction on three separate occasions with Professor James A. Baley, whom I consider to have been the most knowledgeable academician of all regarding the real science and application of Isometric Contraction. At one point she asked me specifically, "Why do you suppose Isometric Training is capable of yielding such great results?" My Answer: "In simple terms Isometric Contraction re-wires the central nervous system so that you are capable of creating a complete and intense contraction of all the muscle fibers simultaneously through direct thought. This is due to the synapse effect. You literally direct your thought into contracting the muscle itself and not in moving a weight or performing a set number of repetitions of any given exercise. It is the most direct form of mind/muscle communication that one can possibly develop. It is an acquired skill. At first most people have no idea of what an intense Isometric Contraction feels like but in time as they practice and develop the ability to focus directly on the objective at hand, that of creating maximum muscular contraction, they are then awed to discover how intensely and completely they can train their muscles to contract. In a very real sense Isometric Contraction is the ultimate Bio-feedback Technique." ---John Peterson Share|

Well I have never cared what people call their type of exercise, they have to use words that appear in the dictionary. The way I look at it, so long as people understand the concept it makes no difference.
and fatjake I like to call "blow job" Dyson, because there is no loss of suction.

The Sierra strap can be hitched to a pipe . Use the pipe/strap combo as a wristroller anchored to a stationary object so you can perform adjustable dynamic isometrics .

adjective: dynamic
1. (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.
In other words, "moving"

Yeah, say goodbye as you all leave to go and post at Lionquest with the other pretend, exercise scientists. Don't forget your clipboards, m8s.

See how many times you can squeeze "co-contraction" into every thread over there too.

adjective: dynamic 1. (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress. In other words, "moving" and here we go again, perhaps you could start a thread discussing the definitions of adjectives like "dynamic" as you seem to be obsessed by them, then everyone else could carry on discussing the subject "dynamic isometrics", which is just the name of an exercise protocol. noun:"dynamic isometrics" 1. isometrics with movement. In other words, combing isometrics with movement

You know this is a complete lie the second he claims he said this to someone with an actual education and the fictional entity at Mayo never called BS: JP picked up the whole synapse nonsense from Larry Scott around a decade ago and stated the same thing. He dropped the uasge after he got flamed for the idiocracy, but, seems he's resurrected it... (If you search on Larry Scott + synapse you'll see where we captured JP's claims on the old Yuku boards, but, when I try to open them tapatalk won't let me.) Anyway, any moron who has had some basic biology classes would know a synapse is simply a space or gap that the nervous systems uses to transmit signals: (Definition from a Google search...) Here is a synapse...
