I like the idea of incorporating a heavy duty spring with a DIY isociser as a way to gauge effort. Initially the spring won't budge but with Bruce-like effort it will .

Standing on a wooden dowel(eg 4' length 1.25 diameter) is an effective way to anchor "iso straps". Moreover, wooden dowel can likewise anchor large flat band loops; a second dowel can function as a barbell for both isometrics and isotonics.

bruv actually made a wooden platform for bands that looked pretty good for deadlifts etc, probably still on the old forum

bruv actually made a wooden platform for bands that looked pretty good for deadlifts etc, probably still on the old forum Squat and Deadlift Platform for Bands It's just made from scrap timber. It could be prettier but I really dont give a %#@& about that for this kind of thing. I mostly loop the bands at the front as shown but the bands can also be looped under at the sides instead to perform a suit case lift. Oh and yes I do use more than just the red band. That was just for demonstration purposes. If I loaded my usual amount of bands on you would hardly be able to see the platform under the mass of bands.

3 cheers for bruv's platform . Lesser craftsmen can simply use a board(with the rounded off edges), a steel pipe, or a wooden dowel to anchor straps and thick flat band loops .

I never tire of looking at that beauty. Also looks like it would make a great calf block that would never tip because of the "outriggers" it has fore and aft.

This is pretty cool Bruce, Thanks for putting it up. Sometimes I do Isometric pinch grips with my basement floor beams. Also I use two 10lb plates smooth side out and hold for time.

I've used webbing hitched to a board. Your can anchor the webbing for either pinch grip isometrics or isotonics . Otherwise, attach the webbing to a dumbbell, barbell, or weight weights .

I made a pinch thing out of some springs and tin bits of wood one time, I might make another some day but am enjoying my simplified grip training approach, which is 2x100 reps with each hand on a cheap adjustable gripper whenever I feel like it
