Add to this the fact that Bruv knows of no word that will more clearly describe the process and should be used in place of Dynamics. I already said. "Belt exercises". In the days before all that stupid jargon started emerging from Peterson's one of the things we used to talk about was different ways we could workout at home with items around the house. Belt exercises were often suggested. Nobody gave them some scientific sounding name as if they were some special form of exercise. It's basically just tugging on a belt and will never be as good as weights or strands anyway, no matter what you call it. BTW, "dynamic" is somewhat generic and can have several meanings; a person can have a dynamic personality, we can discuss the dynamics of a process, and so on. Dynamic can mean lively or vibrant or energetic, forceful, etc. In physics it can relate to energy and forces that produce motion. So, I believe that it is a perfectly proper word to use for Dynamic Isometrics. www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/dynamic It doesn't mean when something is not moving. It's getting very boring.

Bruvvietoes, I know exactly what you're saying. Whenever I see the word dynamic applied to anything, I think of The Great Plagiarizer who took Charles Atlas's Dynamic and tacked it onto the front of self resistance and visualized resistance, as though his version of both was somehow superior (nothing else even comes close) to plain old ordinary SR and VR.
I think the term Strap Isometrics would be more fitting, as strap can generically mean anything of that nature; a length of webbing, a belt, etc. But, then, I think that Belt Isometrics sounds better.

Bruce I always thought the same thing. But You know the fitness industry and people like that are just out for the money and control. They make it sound like if You don't do there version You'll never reach Your goal. We know that's not true, there's no magic pill. The word Dynamic gets the gullible excited.

In order to enhance NERVE FORCE, I use a heavy duty flat resistance band when performing dynamic isometrics ( aka yielding isometrics)

Is the goal is to make exercise as complicated and incomprehensible as possible? One of the characteristics of Twatdom ..... label old exercises with new, cryptic names, understood only by the inside members of the cult. I'm so disappointed. Oh .... and, don't forget to add Dynamic-Isometrics I, Dynamic-Isometrics II, Dynamic-Isometrics III, Dynamic-Isometrics IV, etc, etc.

BTW, I've recently added Dynamic Isometrics III to my routine.

That would only apply to isometric exercises. There are many exercises you can do with a belt that are not isometric as the guy in the video demonstrated.

yes we are! But that medical dictionary provides several definitions to suit all uses of the word dynamic, there is not a special case for exercise. medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/dynamicdynamic /dy·nam·ic/ (di-nam´ik) 1. pertaining to or manifesting force. 2. of or relating to energy or to objects in motion. 3. characterized by or tending to produce change. so as you can clearly see, it CAN be related to objects in motion OR it can be relating to energy OR it could be used to describe force OR it is something causing change. The definitions in that medical dictionary do not differ from any others quoted previously. So using any definition provided so far, there is no contradiction, how many times can you prove yourself wrong m8?

an oxymoron is where contradictory terms are conjoined, so the simplest way to decide if two words qualify as an oxymoron, is to quickly look up the definition of the individual words and see if they are in fact contradictory. It should be pretty easy to do this and take around 30 seconds.
Throughout these stupid threads, those pushing for the oxymoron have had plenty of opportunity to show this, but every single definition provided so far, actually shows that there is no contradiction.
If it takes days and all sorts of contrived explanations to try and make something into an oxymoron, it amost certainly isnt one.
