- Going over the many uses of a Crane scale for Isometrics and Strength Testing. While it's not designed as a fitness tool, the variations and versatility is pretty impressive when you consider the price.

A really good idea. This DIY is awesome
Thanks brother
this is an amazing idea, never considered this before
I played around with a crane scale from Aliexpress. No decent peak hold. The best would be to have Bluetooth to display the force on a tablet screen for easy readability.
Bluetooth would be nice for sure.
That’s definitely creative and Innovative 🔥
Thanks for watching brother.
Awesome video. When I got the Synapse almost two years ago now, I bought a Klau OSC-L scale off Amazon. It was about $50 and had a max hold feature. That's the key, as you point out. As time progresses, I expect there will be better options available as the crane scales are a little cumbersome.
Thanks Parker. I know there's been a lot of you guys that have been using these sorts of devices for some time.
Funny, I have been using these for years in order to confirm the "weight in hand" on various machines after the mechanical advantages or disadvantages of various pulley configurations, lever arm lengths, etc. They are very useful.
Awesome to hear that. I’ve yet to really scratch the surface with this thing so these tips are great.
Very cool!
Thanks Jay
Would it be possible to try this on the totalgym and see how much body weight vs incline # as a percentage? maybe compare that vs their weight charts?
You definitely could use this on the total gym, but I’d have to think about doing it in the way you’re describing
Kind of cool none the less. Very interested. You know i would be!
Thanks brother.
This is awesome bro! I’ve been looking to do these kind of lifts like the ones at 1:55 since reading the USAWA website and your crane idea is exactly what I need to pair with my isochain to go beyond 1000 lbs!
Can you link a place to get both those yellow straps?
Thank you. I actually got those straps from some firefighters, but you can get heavy duty moving straps that are compatible at the hardware store.
I wonder if there is something like the X3 Force bar that's more this DIY style that could be done with bands. Would be interested to see that if it's possible.
The force bar has some other tech in there accounting for the fluctuations in load to calculate total force, but you could for sure still use this for testing max loads with bands.
Good stuff! Chest press would be a problem on this wouldn't it? You would be basically locked out it's already far on isochain
You can do a chest press either on one arm strapped to a band or wrapped around your chest like an iso max, but the length of the device might just cause problems fine tuning the distance.
That would be pretty useful, I was wondering what the resistance on some of these bands actually are! And when I'm doing sled drags, how much am I pulling?
EDIT: Looking on Amazon, from the same brand they have one for $26. Only goes up to 660lbs, but that is probably enough for most people. It also has a peak hold function, but no remote. If you are planning to use this for other things, this one weighs down to .3lb, the one you linked to won't measure below 20lb.
Thanks man. All great points, thanks for that comment.
Good idea. Seems like a safer method to test strength than going for 1 rep max on barbell exercises. Did you need to decrease isometrics since training HIT?
My main reason for decreasing my isometric work is really back to time. I've been stretched thin overall so my training time is fairly tight recently. That and I've been testing out some other products for future reviews you'll be seeing in the future. I like to make sure I get a lot of time with a product before I review it.
Hey Brian. Just random selected for a free crane scale. Just email me to set that up...also hopefully you're in the US.
@@hybridresistance Thanks! I will email you. I was just watching your new Powertec video.
@@hybridresistanceI just emailed my info. Thanks.
Hey, is your force bar with X3 working? If so, It would be a cool video to see what the numbers are for different X3 lifts...
I gave up on it after it kept being weird. Basically doesn't turn on even with a full battery.
