Re: Isokinator Youtube (NTSC) DVD ISO

[Guest guest]

Ronn:

Thank you for the file! It is an AWESOME Isokinator training manual! BTW are you

aware that it had had the print function blocked? I decrypted it and made a coy

of the the PDF file that allows printing it out. May I have your permission to

replace your file with the decrypted one?

Thanks,

TG

you're right ... some of the drawings in the manual make it hard to know if

you're doing things correctly; all the more so because the manual is in German,

and I don't speak German. What a great idea, making a compilation of the video

clips!

drawings show the Isokinator being used.

Thanks for uploading this manual! It offers many more choices of exercises than

the current Isokinator training chart, and is a good source to find some

alternative movements to experiment with!

On the other hand, some of the exercises in this old manual are not very

convenient to do, such as no. 6 for the legs (I find it hard to move both legs

at the same time and keep the " power block " stable) or no.7 for the abs in the

" Advanced Exercises " section (if only the upper body moves, then how can I hold

a consistent " power block " ?.

The squat with the isokinator between the knees, as shown on the new isokinator

training chart under exercise no.5, is a much better option for training the

thighs, and exercise no. 17, which is featured as exercise no. 7 on the new wall

chart, offers a good combined training for abs and legs. (For your reference,

here you can find pictures of the new training wallchart:

http://store.koelbel.eu/sites/default/files/images/Isokinator-manual_men1.jpg

and

http://store.koelbel.eu/sites/default/files/images/Isokinator-manual_men2.jpg)

No. 2 for " upper back, V-lats and shoulders " seems not very practical to me,

since the shoulder is much weaker than its antagonist in this exercise, the

opposite lat side. So a resistance which strains my right shoulder will be only

a subliminal force on my left lat. But I find no. 12 and no.13 (Advanced

Training) very effective shoulder exercises.

Thanks again!

Jens

You're very welcome, Jens. Thank you for your insightful comments on the various exercises. I agree with what you say. Regarding no. 6 for the legs in the old manual (Thighs front and back), I always found it awkward and difficult, trying to do it while sitting on a chair or stool, so I now do it lying on my back on the floor, with legs bent same as they would be if I were sitting in a chair. That makes it a lot easier and more enjoyable for me. Also, I use the Hand Straps for it, which keeps my feet closer together and seems to give me a greater range of motion (I guess because the feet have to move farther to achieve full extension/contraction with the shorter straps). It's now my favorite Iso-K leg

exercise.The new wall chart you gave the links to is great! Nice to finally have it in English. Where did you find it? Looks like it was translated from German, but I'm not seeing it at their web site.RonnTo: bullworkerclub Sent: Saturday, October 8, 2011 9:51 AMSubject: Re: Isokinator Youtube (NTSC) DVD

Thanks Ronn,

for your hint regarding exercise no.6; it seems a good idea to do it lying on

the back and to use the hand straps instead of the foot straps!

As for the current exercise chart, I just googled for images of the isokinator,

and there it was. It comes from the page koelbel.de; click on the British flag

on the upper right of that webpage, then you get the English version; then click

on the picture of any isokinator model (Spaceman, Green Giant or Classic),

scroll down and you see the tabs: Type, results, technique...click on " training "

and scroll down...

Best regards,

Jens.

Here another link to a training chart for the exxerwatch (yet not very sharp),

which was on auction on ebay in Germany:
