It appears that the word "dynamic" can be applied to just about anything in any context anyone desires, so it's senseless to continue debating whether or not that is the proper word to use when referring to an isometric technique. Cedric entertained us with his video depicting an isometric technique using a strap which he calls Dynamic Isometrics, and in another thread I declared that I would use the same term used by the "inventor". However, "Belt Isometrics"! Now, there's a term you grab hold of! The more I think about it, the more I'm getting a warm, fuzzy feeling with Belt Isometrics. It's also somehow in keeping with my High Plains existence.

Is this a "Yielding Isometric" w/ a belt? If so, can you do a Yielding Isometric w/ a rope? How about a chain? Could you use poles? Suspension trainer? And yet, they are ALL Yielding Isometrics? Why not just keep the name, Yielding Isometric and then add, as prefix or suffix, the equipment or method used? Why do Twats feel the need to invent new terms to replace perfectly fine existing ones? Not saying anyone here is a Twat, but that is what the Twats do, you know?

Yes, it does, as do half the other threads on the "Great Debate".

Maybe someone can help me: is this being made more complicated than necessary?
- You do isometrics with weights, strands, self-resistance, one of those static machines (which measures the resistance), etc. - You do isometrics with your bodyweight via workouts like the One Minute Workout. - You do isometrics with an immovable object -- the door frame, bar on a power rack, belt, etc.
What am I missing?

You do isometrics with tools as well, you do isometrics just carrying bags of shopping over a distance. Just standing in one place for any period of time is isometric, sitting upright in a chair without leaning into it, is isometric. There are many people out there who do isometrics on a daily basis and do not give them a second thought.

Proper names for each one of those techniques. Names that stir the adrenaline and sell books and products.

Belt Isometrics is not Yielding Isometrics. What is the definition of a "Yielding Isometric" then? Is it the same as what I posted in the "Dynamic Isometrics" thread?

Its been often observed that the desire for muscle building equipment, supplements, and workout routines will continue to grease the wheels of capitalism .

A yielding opposite gender is desirable unless you have to deal with a tax collector personality .

A Yielding Isometric is pulling or pushing on something that gives up to a certain extent, as in you can only stretch it so far, as in a Bullworker or a doggie ring. A Belt Isometric is where you slide your hands in opposite directions along a belt (or something of a similar nature), gripping it to provide some resistance as you do so, and then stopping at intervals for an isometric.
