Some of the recent discussion on isometrics has me wanting to give the isometric belt a go again as a finisher to my workouts. I even checked out the John Peterson forum again, something I haven't done in several years.

I see John is giving the belt a lot of play which is good. Some years back he was wanting to shuck it for a cumbersome medieval torture device with two bars and a kevlar strap you ran the bars through. I told him it was a mistake and people would get hurt on it. The belt was simpler, safer and more versatile. I have to laugh though. I doubt he'd ever admit I was right about that.

I am glad he decided to hang with it. It is a great piece of equipment. I use a cutdown belt almost every workout for self-resistance and will start using the full belt again for Isometrics.
