Get the fastest, most intense full-body workout... in 3 minutes with the 1-Rep Isometric Gym. Build muscle, burn fat, get strong... FAST. The world's fastest workout with isometric exercise equipment. Perfect for static contraction training or measured intensity training.
The 'trick' for success at any accomplishment is TIME & EFFORT. Thinking, or acting like you're trying your hardest, ISN'T the same as -actually- working hard. Compared to your intensity of effort, the tool choice really doesn't matter: If you really work hard for 20-30 minutes, (or as little as 11 1/2, outlined below), you should be FRIED , whether with weights or statics. If you aren't panting like a dog, barely able to move, swearing you'll never work out again, you didn't work hard enough.

3 min total isn't going to do it all for muscle, strength, & condition. 6 compound exercises: chest press, shoulder press, pulldown, row, leg press, & straight-leg deadlift, pushing & pulling movements alternated), are all you'll ever need for a lifetime. With the 90-second protocol outlined below, & allowing 30 sec for each position change, you have an 11 1/2 min workout, which will shorten as positions become more skillfully changed.

@d:Exaggeration & fraud has been perpetrated by many isometric-related business interests, but isometric exercise itself is proven to have a meaningful place in exercise. One problem is measuring progress, which the 1RG strain-gauge solves. Another problem is maintaining exact limb positions workout to workout, which the precisely machined 1RG adjustments solve. It's built to last a lifetime. The protocol recommended with the machine's not to my liking. See the post below for my preference.

This is the greatest load of bullshit currently in the fitness world. Right up there with shake weight and magnetic bracelets.

Ch48: "The Renaissance of Exercise"(Ken Hutchins): "Timed Static Contractions": An article Hutchins has refined for 17yrs, a concept he's experimented w/for 27yrs. His timings are completely at odds w/the typical short sets: 25% effort for 30 secs, 50% for 30 secs, 75% for 30 secs, & 100% for 30 secs, totalling 2 minutes. This is now modified to a 90 sec set / 3 levels of effort. This is a safer & more productive protocol than the short bursts currently in vogue among static devotees.

Could you give me the URL of the company that manufactures this machine? I would like to purchase one. If you can help me locate the company, thank you.

Ken Hutchins' "Renaissance Exercise", (a book & a company), & "Renex" machines have taken exercise to the next level: 1/The pieces are hailed, by every expert who's tried, as a huge improvement over MedX. The design distributes effort so evenly in full-ROM compound exercise that pre-exhaust's obsolete. 2/ Timed-static function w/an elaborate computer precisely monitors & records static progress. 3/Focus on the "squeeze" incorporates benefits of statics into full-ROM exercise. I can't wait.

After 1RG exclusively for years, I added SuperSlow workouts on MedX machines. 1/The 1st session gave me DOMS as if I hadn't worked out before at all. (This doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I thought it might not happen.) 2/ SS's metabolic conditioning & cardio effect is much stronger than statics'. 3/ SS doesn't help my best #s on 1RG at all. These results indicate to me that both inroading,(SS), & tension,(1RG), are essential for complete strength training.
