The following is compliments of gruntbrain:  For those of you who, for the last 4 years, have been anxiously awaiting the release of John Peterson's Isometric Power Belt, wait no longer. You can now get a 30' length of 2" webbing with a couple of D rings sewn on one end for $24, as opposed to John's 28' length for $90. Granted, it's not "singularly the greatest piece of Isometric equipment ever developed" as John says his is, but it is......umh…...well......it's the exact same thing. Well, no....it's not bullet proof like JP's, but if your greatest concern isn't that crazed gunman bursting through the door spraying an AK-47 whilst you are performing your isometrics, then there's really no need for your length of webbing to be bullet proof. And, of course, you won't pay the additional $32.95 for Peterson's epic instruction manual, in which he has "NAILED IT!" and in which he "teaches what no one else has ever taught. It has originated with him exclusively. No one else even comes close." On the other hand, you won't be purchasing his instruction manual anyway, as it doesn't exist, nor will it ever. Most of us here are knowledgeable enough to develop our own iso program. You could also probably find a wealth of information on the Web and on YouTube with a search for Isometrics with a Webbing Strap. Anyway, thanking the gruntmeister, here is a link to said strap: www.strapworks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DDS2N&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIib7Ii8Ll5wIVyblkCh2kqAY0EAEYASABEgLuaPD_BwE |

Having both the Sierra Strap and the Strapworks 2" double D-ring strap is not redundant .
Btw, the Red Delta Project guy recently showed using the D-ring strap is a comfortable way of performing what he calls hybrid isometrics

"hybrid isometrics"? Do they run on electricity?

Well! What else do you need?! So do you find you have exercises you need the full 30' feet for? I am trying to imagine what the function of all that length is? |

You'd have to ask JP, who took the legendary Coach Baley's (whoever he was) "very good" length of webbing and turned it into something "extraordinary". |

Well, then, for someone who really hasn't done much with strap isometrics, what is your ideal length?

About 8 1/2".

...and do you have any idea what exactly John Peterson is doing that requires that sort of strap length?

Ok.....so obviously you are playing around with me....8.5"....I think the guy in the video advocated for 10 feet.....I've got a Sierra Strap. I suppose I could measure that. Not 30', but it has some significant length. I've got Baley's book. Can't recall exactly what he recommended. Thinking like 15'? |

You know what's funny, in the video Vegetus posted with Matt, the Strapworks belt wasn't slipping. The only way to stop JP's belt from slipping with heavy tension is to stand or hold where the D-rings are. Ripping people off like that, myself included, is pretty lame. Thanks Bruce, Vegetus, Gruntbrain, and whoever else brought this to attention. |

Order white or light colored webbing and create a numbering system like the Sierra Strap to replicate loop size for each exercise.
I've added vinyl hose pieces for hand comfort .

I believe JP made the strap so long so that you could double it over, stand on it, and have "loops" to pull on, so that the webbing is going straight down on either side of your hands. |
