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 :)

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]

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

[TheCausticGnostic]

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

[TheCausticGnostic]

@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.

[TheCausticGnostic]

@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.

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

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...
