Zen in the Art of Self-Resistance

[bob44]

I just want to say thanks to Bruce for his self-resistance pages. I can’t remember when I first discover his isometrics pages (maybe 20 to 25 years ago), but I remember doing them in my office at lunch when I couldn’t get outside. I have always been mainly a body weight guy, but as I get older, I really appreciate how effective these isometric exercises are. And they do not aggravate my joint and even seem to help my joint problems.


If you haven’t done them in a while, I would encourage you to give them a try. There is also a meditative feeling while doing them. It is a nice break from all the crazy coronavirus news.

Thanks for this, Bob. Only thing is that the exercises are not all isometric. Most are isotonic, using your limbs. I, myself, used these exclusively for a full year and a half.

I used self resistance exercise for around 5 years or so. It is what I mostly used during my 50lb weight loss. If I didn't have weights I definitely have the knowledge to use these for a bodybuilding routine. I wish I would have found Bruce's page as You did Bob 20-25 years ago. I would have had a better grasp on them if I didn't learn them from the person that took Bruce's idea.

I learned a lot of useful information from many wonderful people on this site. Thank you. Also really enjoy the equipment made by the Big Guy.

Why, that would be me!
