  • I would love to own one of these but cannot afford the price tag of nearly four grand.

  • I would highly recommend isometrics but dont limit urself to just that include it in with ur weights,bands,machines,cardio, and bw exercise so u can be the strongest all around. I always do isometrics everyday.

  • This version of the isometric machine actually taken from the 1960,York Barbell isometric rack .best way doing 3 positions,botton ,middle,and almost lockout.not more than 8 secounds count,exerting all Your strenght against a static object.one can simply build a isometric rack out of wood,cost perhaps $200. it would be the same as this machine seen in this vedio.static contraction no more than 8 secounds,more than that would be wasting your time.

  • He benches more than he squats. Sad...

  • This guy is going to pop a ball.

  • hahaha not even aktive movement of the joints this will bring you nowhere!

  • Where is the full range of motion? I get that it tests strength levels by pushing or pulling really hard, but that is not how to exercise. This is just a type of strength testing machine, not an exercise machine.

  • whats 1 rep and 16 reps?

  • look how cumbersome and ugly this machine is. not to mention that it has basically no utility in strength training. money well spent, lol

  • this is retarded.

  • wtf is this? people always have to look for a shortcut. classification-lazy people.

  • @makohit .

  • @makohit

    Actually it is scientifically proven to be more effective at training maximum strength than any other method. So stfu.

  • @cougarbart show me the "science" reports.

  • Wtf is this shit?

  • no range of motion = muscles not fully activated = not much ripping = not much happening. if the numbers on the machine actually work and correspond to something, it can be a strength measurer, but it's not a work out.

    it's better than doing nothing, i guess. why are people always looking for the easy way out? are 3 one hour gym sessions per week that much to ask for?

  • ya, its cool, but not exactly a great strength builder

  • Ducatista696 - An interesting point. It looks like an isometric contraction against an almost imovable object. An effective strength builder.

  • Shittest machine ever.

  • Don't knock it until you have tried it. In 6 weeks, thats only 3 A workouts and 3 B workouts, my strength went though the roof. I was only benching around 80 kgs ( 3 x 10 reps) before I started. My bench jumped up to 140kg. This shit does work.

  • wtf is this shyt

  • Wow. This is ridiculous. You could do the same thing against a fucking wall. Wow.

  • Incredible machine. Where can I get one?

  • This workout is lacking some important things:

    1) No pre-stretch progressing to the fully contracted position - making for a much stronger contraction

    2) Because a maximum single rep is done there is potential for injury

    3) No work on negative resistance which has been proven for decades to be the most productive form of strength training

    4) Very little cardio work

    With so many better choices of exercise equipment out there and for less money I don't know why anyone would choose this machine.

  • This is just a version of isokenetics.

  • @Ducatista696 you do not know what isokinetcis are. Iso-metric means same (iso, as in isosceles triangle, a triangle with each side the same length) and metric is from metron meaning length. So, in an isometric exercise the contracted muscle remains the SAME LENGTH throughout the exercise. Iso-kinetics (from kinesis, movement, as in kinesiology or how our muscles function) means SAME SPEED. In an isokinetic exercise one MOVES but at the same speed throughout the contraction.

  • @TheCausticGnostic my mistake. OK this is just another version of isometrics. I can do this with broom handle and two pieces of rope.

  • Comment removed

  • @Ducatista696 isokinetics enjoyed a brief heyday until it was discovered that, since they lack a negative resistance portion to the exercise (such as lowering a barbell) their muscle building utility is very limited. I used to sell the TriMax home gym. The resistance was supplied by hydraulic cylinders. It was great for developing ones quick twitch fibers for punching, kicking, throwing, but the muscular development was mediocre. Isokinetics are entirely different from isometrics.

  • where do I get this machine? how much does it cost?

  • This is ridiculously dumb.

  • @dudesome6969

    Why? Because you're used to the typical bullshit that doesn't work?

  • I hope that by doing this training I will be able to see some new muscle. I'm 6'2 205lbs at ~10% body fat I've been stuck at my current frame for a long time. I'm willing to try anything (except roids / crazy horse pills).

  • The most muscle Ive gained was with short Extreme High Intensity workouts that lasted ~30min. But I was still doing full ranges of motion and that lead to me hit a plateau b/c I did not give my body enough rest to fully recover.

  • I don't have the Static Hold Equipment but I'm giving this a shot. The older I get (I'm 27 now) the more I realize after training for 8 years that fallowing "Juicer" training techinques and trying their routines is BS. Any pro bodybuilder shoots up roids and intakes massive amounts of pills, which is why they are able to be in the gym for so long and do full range of motion workouts and still get results.

  • @asoflex Wow, you are an ignorant piece of shit! I am a competive BodyBuilder and you dont have the slightest clue about ANYTHING related to: Working Out, Bodybuilding, AAS, Kinisiology, Muscle Mechanics, Pussy, or ANYTHING else related! You FAIL at life kid

  • but understand it may not be the staple of your work out but may be a great suppliment to your work out

    also i hope the inventer learns how to handle customers better...much luck to everyone

  • id have to say the tool is cool, i like how you can gauge your intensity to show progression, how ever i do beleive isometrics another tool to get in shape and not the only method...i use iso work to help with plateaus.... also i belive that the owner/inventer is horible at customer service...stating your way is the best way is b.s. it all depends on goals, specific needs of the individual, & of course intrest. i hope in the future some of the nay sayers will try some iso work 2 see its effects

  • I haven't found any bodybuilder who build great looking body with the use of Static Contraction. I am aware it can make your stronger but I am not convinced that it can help you build a great looking muscles like tradicional weight lifting will. Mabe you can share some insights on that.

  • I used static contraction to get big for my build. But I am not a "body builder" just an enthusiast who likes to cruise the beach.

    It helped me grow, but I had to balance it out with yoga to strengthen my spinal erectus muscles because my back kept going out.

  • how much were u leg pressing? i couldnt tell what the number said?, on my last workout i got 1071

  • my legs were 1301 on my most recent workout

  • you know, im not criticizing you or anything, but can you please post a video of you doing a full 1RM bench press with the Bar?

  • I concur with everything Lazur1 has said. In conclusion, "xfguru" or whatever his name may be is a faggot & certainly hasn't got the right attitude towards criticism if he is expecting to succeed with any of his "work". He has no evidence proving his claims apart from his faggot disciples which undoubtedly are weaker than me(of which I've only been on SS for 8months). Only somebody afraid to get under the bar & Squat or pull a heavy DL would think of something as ridiculous as this.

  • the cardio isn't necessarily performed on the machine, there are reistance bands which allow you to do a great cardio workout utilizing the gym howevr in my studios clients perform MIT-Cardio, my own version of Tabata Protocol.....keeping an interval of 20 seconds exertion and 10 seonds rest equals one cycle and we perform up to 10 cylces for a carido workout

  • A similar rig could be built fairly cheaply. You can get a weighing scales/load cell for shipping which would go to high forces and have a max setting. All the scale/readout is doing is giving a figure to try and beat next time. If you stood on a scale and looped webbing under it and onto a bar and pulled upwards you would see the dial go up.

  • i don't disagree but there is so much more to this workout than just a rig i developed an entire training system (MIT) that i have used for over 4 years ages 6-84 with 100 SUCCESS. i guarantee results or it's free. more than 1400 clients later i have never once lost out on that there is intensity, overload, progression, timing, etc. we're opening centers in the US 2 are in oklahoma city, the ENTIRE workout cardio, strength, warm up cool down is 15 minutes not for the gym rats but :)

  • How do u do a cardio workout on this type of equipment????????????????

  • @viciousblackout could you elaborate? If so, please PM me. Thanks!

  • my daughter presses the car/trucks I leg press jets and airliners train cars only becasue so many o fleg press cars and planes in real day to day life mmmm kind of like gym rats regular day to day job is performing dozens of full range bench presses, bicep curls, butterflies, knee extenisons...wait a tick...what r thos ejobs other than the "true" hard core bodybuilders....perhaps liek u I'm sure, right

    love me? uh, i think you should be posting to a "different" type of video.....Peace

  • @xfguru

    do you even fucking speak english?

  • ROFLMAO OMG THAT WORKOUT ROCKED

    This is a prime example of hit and quit it gone to far, or HIT gone retarded.

    Forget everything you know people, its been lies all along - you can gain 100lbs of muscle in a year doing this!

  • just when i thought all the dumb asses had weighed in....

  • ;)

    Not offending what your doing, keep it up bro. Can you leg press a car yet? I love you man!

  • @xfguru yea, you commented again

  • You guys sound and look like the people who go to the gym day after day, doing the same sets reps and weight and don't gain a thing youll plateu and mantain at best!! I was you before max contraction I feel sorry for you!

    Though the other guy camswitzer is a total fruit though!

  • yeah my point is to have a life and the so called "bodybuilders" who comment here spend more time in the gym in a week than I do in a YEAR!

    the really funny part is I know several real bodybuilders and THEY don't have time to respond or at least choose not to make dumb ass comments on something they know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about....I'll put my system against any idiot here

  • so it's completely isometric? i can't even imagine how this would build muscle at all.

    also, your grip sucks ass.

  • your grip sucks ass....well that pretty well defines what you don't know about muscle building

    regarding isometrics, dude pull your head and get into this century ready up on iso's regarding iso's & strength/mass building

    dumbest reply i've read yet

    my God where do you idiots come from...

  • Why is there no video of him doing a:

    Full Bench Press,

    Full Less Press,

    at those weights.

    I mean come on, if this machine works and allows them to build such strenght - post them doing it on another machine as "proof".

    I'm callin' you out boy. :-) I think this is bullshit.

  • Static contraction exercises and heavy, short range partial lifts work great and they do wonders for muscle mass. I personally don't care that some of you guys think it's not effective. I've used it for a long time and it's significantly more effective than full range lifts. The reason people who try SC fail is usually because they don't give their body enough rest. If you're doing heavy, SC lifts you need to hit the gym maybe once per week at the most.

  • How much do one of these contraptions cost?

  • 3 k

    lifetime warranty

    over 4,000 lbs of resistance you'll never outgrow it

    i have 16 year olds outgrown free weights for leg and toe press using these techniques

  • You just said pressing doesn't build muscle...oh gee when can I try this thing out

  • total crap

  • i have to assume you refer to the contents of your brain

  • hm.. the guy looks like shit i just dont get it.. MAYBE you'll get bit strength but what ever.. theres no way to build serious mass or even hard muscle with this crap as well as powerfilting skills.. even if you trust in this thing one way to say.. i'm training for 1 and a half year now beeing 18 years old an i've got way better musclequality and mass than this ridiciulous guy!

  • ur right, u dont get it u dont know anything about it, you never tried it, its way beyond ur level of comprehension, u know nothing about physiological response of motor units

    so by all means, state ur opinion

    frekkin idiot

  • I don't think you would build large amounts of mass with this. But, for someone like myself who has partially torn both knees & my right tricep tendon from regular powerlifting it could allow me to continue training. It could help with rehab & the elderly could get a quick workout and maintain strength.

  • ok a 324 lb military press. Now put 324 lbs on a bar and let's see you press it. Does this machine actually make you stronger in real life?

  • i have no idea how much a can press full range because i train exclusively in partial (strong) range of motion because pressing weight doesn't buidl muscle, OVERLOADING muscles with weight does in real life are my clients stronger, please, you have no idea the majority of athletes i train dominate when strength, agility, and endurance are concerned some are a little short on technique

  • actually, no it makes you weaker and removes all your muscles,your lungs,and brain but i thought hey, why not give it a shot are you serious....

  • this is not a workout,its a way of testing your short range of motion power which is rediculous and means nothing,working out with 1 rep will not give you definition and full range of motion does cause more full strength and size/better development,no bodybuilder in the world uses this machine its a simly way of seeing how much muscle fiber recrutiment you can achieve ,which does nothing but just that

    youd be better of FROM if your going to bodybuilding

    godbless everyone

  • i tried to refrain but dude youre a frekkin idiot u obviously know nothing about building muscle urs is the dumbest response ive read btw the ONLY way to build new muscle is to OVERLOAD muscle fibers hence recruit more fiber build mroe muslce, dumb ass

  • learn how to spell muscle before you call someone else a dumbass,lol i know how to work out I have more mass then you ,and I dont use 1 rep max machines I do 12 reps im a bodybuilder not a power lifter I go for reps not max strength Max strength training is not bodybuilding so get out of here

    peace dawg,no need to insult anyone here

    godbless,lol i know how to build muscle i have some huge shoulders to prove it,peace

  • you have no mass at all and you look rediculous puffing and huffing with your 1 rep 1 cm reps

  • dude pleeez, i saw your vidz my daughter has more muscle development than you there very best thing about your vids however is the absolute clarification between morons like you who "think" you're a bodybuilder because you use bitch weights you're so NOT a body builder oh yeah, God Bless you too brother, moron

  • i got more mass then you will ever have you gruniting little monkey lol ps my vids are me without working out 1 single workout for 5 monthes and i took off my neckbrace to pose lol so u can only imagine me when im in the gym..but dont get too scared

    lol

    peace

  • p.s you said "my daughter has more muscle development than you there very best thing about your vids however is the absolute clarification between morons like you who "think" you're a bodybuilder because you use bitch weights you're so NOT a body builder oh yeah, God Bless you too brother, moron (alot of that made no sense at all my friend but if your trying to say im not a bodybuilder,I eat strict and I use very heavy weights you have never seen me lift,so dont gossip too much

    godbless

  • this is no workout......

    pethetic

  • when u see how much force u press on the bench press, ur just seeing how much u push at the top of ur bench not the bottom, so u should lower the bar

  • precisely we are seeing how much muscle fiber recrutiment we can achieve anything lower is submaximal and weaker in other words anything lower is a waste of time and fuel

  • my point was that you wouldnt be able to bench press 600 pounds, you could probably lift it off the rack but go any lower and u wont be able to lift it, am i right?

  • Your point has merit but your asking the wrong question. You should ask- 'Is lifting the bar from a weaker position, with lower weight, going to increase my muscle mass more than higher weight from a stronger position?'... And the answer is, no.

    Thats how i see it. I have no interest what so ever in increasing my Full ROM weights. I don't even lift Full ROM any more. ALL i want is muscle mass increase. And the SCT method, by far, makes the most sense in helping me reach my goals.

  • 100% correct my point is a miss. univ. study concluded there is no benefit to using full ROM to build muscle/strength over any other range including short range partials so using ANY other range is less effective because it prevents btw i've increased the drives and improved the game of 100% of my golfer clients

  • jones wasn't the first nor the last by a long shot to research and it has and IS in fact being improved upon its called measured intensity training sisoc and little remain in the past also nothing new at all form those guys

  • If this were true, you wouldn't be making your, "I don't claim to train for bodybulding" disclaimer, and the top bodybuilders would be running to you for help. There is simply ZERO evidence in the form of actual physiques to prove your point. The art & science of building muscle is bodybuilding, like it or not. If you ain't doin' it, you ain't doin' it.

  • i have a few questins, what is that machine? how much is it? and where abouts can you get it from. it looks like a great investment.

  • its the 1 REP GYM

    under $3k

    lifetime

    5k lbs of resistance (weight)

    full body workout this video is only 5 of the 10 major exercises

    comes with my MIT dvd and workout booklet

    workout scheduling

    workout charts

    email me at shawn @ aafbiz com to order

    unpack and workout within 10 minutes

  • I read Sisco's S.C.T. book and his "Trainsmart" e-book a few years ago and tried 5-second SCs. I immediately had visible results (I'd thought I was genetically tricep-deficient) and broke through my Mon-Wed-Fri plateau. I adapted his workout using strong-range partial reps and SCs, increasing weight and decreasing frequency. Since 2005 I've only been in the gym twice a month on a split routine. I'm 5'10" 170 small frame; chest: 420lbs, legs:1000lbs. I maxed the machines so I'm increasing ROM.

  • congrats on the success i maxed ou tthe wts for a few exercises too this machine in my studio however goes to 5000lbs or resistance lb for lb so nobody will be maxing it out

  • Hah, static contractions [I use a handle bolted to a wall] with a large [at least 4-6 weeks for me] have been the only thing that actually noticeably added real size to my arms about 3/4" in 4 months. Not sure how that compares with others, [nor care really] because for me it was the only thing that made a difference. Its certainly the resting too.

  • i wouldnt use soley the 1 REP GYM to train a professional or Olympic athlete, duh however every single athlete can and will benefit from incorporating MIT performed on the 1 REP GYM, i've proven it...

  • EVERY DAY is kidney day so if you train every day or so youre constantly breaking down fibers and pyrutic and lactic acid never get COMPLETELY filtered out of kidneys therefore youll never optimize your strength training or mass size as far as athletics...

  • adapting the brainwashed method widely accpeted that is: gotta go to gym every other day to workout no matter what. well that bull crap. when one lifts significant weight your body MUST have time to recover sure there is the "i train different groups on different days" blah blah blah but the truth is...

  • you can bench full rom 200lbs five times and thats nowhere near the intensity of one 400 bench press in any range that hits the pecs. pull a 200 lb weight across the floor 10 feet is the same as pulling 400 lbs five feet (physiological law) work X force now that we measure the isometric movement we know exactly what we are doing instead of...

  • when you workout in the strongest or shortest range it allows for more weight or in this case force of resistance to placed on the muscle group ie pecs... i don't care about reps and sets i want the most intense rep for my pecs...

  • we go to the strongest and safest range (discovered not by me but by John Little) this machine allows the most intense workout for muscle group the goal of building indefinitie strenght and mass= the maximum number of muslce fibers recruited...

  • real simple, jones wasnt the 1st sisco litle are credited with innovating something new i.e. power index jones never had that pete did i never claimed that sisco/little were the founders of isos besides i'm so far past anything jones, sisco, or little are doing get in the "now" the ONLY person who created what i do is "ME" now I'm creating,researching, developing latest and greatest, not decades old

  • time your next workout if youre not recovered its almost a complete waste of time this workout is based upon intenisty and progressive over load there is not a study in the world which proves you need a full range of motion rep to build muscle...

  • No, but it's pretty basic knowledge that you only build strength in the ROM worked. Outside of sport specific applications, a weightlifter training to gain strength in the ROM of the sticking point in a particular lift, for example, this doesn't appear to be a very functional exercise modality. As a modality it is a violation of the SAID and Specificity principles, and you claim of 100% results is not reasonable due to the principle of Individual Differences.

  • if u were correct which you aren't, contortionists and yoga instructors would be the most muscular people on the planet. go find ONE single study CLAIMING full ROM is needed/required for strength mass building  duh because of INDIVIDUALS it's 100% it's all relative to the frekkin PERSON

  • build lean mass and it will burn fat i agree soem cardio does but much doesnt if it did almost nobody would be overweight it is isometric strength training with MEASUREMENT of intensity which allows how to precisely...

  • ROM is pretty limited. Full ROM can help improve flexibility. I'm not sure how this could help burn fat because I don't see a cardio aspect in this training. If anything it looks like the guy is doing limited range isometric movement. It can tome a person muscles but not really a sports specific training appratus.

  • first of ludicrous is a rapper, (one of my favorties) secondly the guy in the video can bench 2,132 lbs wiht free weights.  nearly 5,000 lbs on squat dumbest comment ever, wow 600lb bone bench press i learned somethin new, bones can lift weight

  • ur really up to speed here,

    i couldn't care less how u or anyone else trains

    i don't give a damn about research i do give a damn about what works

    this works for me and 100% of the people i train i don't have to prove anything to you

    i'm so far past debating people like u its not even funny

    if what ur doing works, more pwr 2 u brutha

    this is wasting my time.......yawn

  • I wold be interested in knowing what the individual in the video can actually bench press with actual weight for a full ROM rep. The same for squats. I am not interested in what your bones can handle at a near full lockout position. Moreover, I would be interested in knowing just how much free weight, full ROM strength he had prior to this contraption and then after using it. 3K US dollars is ludicrous.

  • how much does this cost?

  • A little less than 3K US. I will have a new video of the new machine in a week or two. the machine accommodates up to 5,000 lbs of resistance. please check back.

  • what is this thing? resistance meter thats crazy

  • I developed the training and the machine accommodatees up to 5,000 lbs of resistance.

    I've successfully trained over 600 people with 100% success in getting more fit. NOT bodybuilding competition ready. Simply adding muscle, burning fat, reshaping.

  • hey im a pt, where can i get this machine?

  • go to aafbizcom and contact me through emial or phone
