I recommend regular latex bands. You want a full set including the 4" grey band and a foot plate. Combine the bands such that the balance point (strength = resistance) is in the desired part of the ROM.
I have been using the "rubber bands" and a hardwood dowel or hardened broom handle or length of galvanised pipe. I can stand on the band and run the "handle" through it and either do rows, squats, curls, curl to press. I can have the band go around my back and looped on my "handle" and press out. In this way i grab the round handle instead of the band.
Matt, I wish you made a video on power twisters and chest expanders. Old school devices that are good for both isometric and dynamic upper-body movements. You can actually do numerous exercises with them.
I like this. I train my clients using these methods. Can't help but see resistance band training like the unstable version of overcoming isometrics, lifting without the standard strength curve, but the bands have more stability demand. Bands are the overcoming isometrics what suspension calisthenics are to bar/Floor calisthenics.
Great video. I have wanted to incorporate more isometrics into my program because prolonged illness kept me from working out as much as I'd like to, and my joints have finally started to get weak after long periods without tension on them. I've been using bands for years for various purposes, but it never crossed my mind to try isometrics with them. I have the Kensui Swissies, and they work perfectly with the bands as is, so I will definitely try some isometric holds next time I workout.
In terms of Isometrics how often a week should you do them? And do you deload them ever? I find that when I do them too much or every day that my core gets like almost weak feeling until I deload it for a week.

I have both the Isomax and the X3 and convict conditioning. I have blended all into a program that I’m comfortable with

I prefer using a spring model chess expander, it works amazingly, thanks for the video!
Starting incorporating isometrics into my routine lately, game changer.
What changed?
@arturmassa3600 Definitely strength, slightly more muscle mass so far.
I have a bunch of Max’s products and they are all awesome.
Perhaps you can incorporate a 2 limb concentric movement and then perform the yielding portion with 1 limb .
The extra advice I would have is to do isometrics with both contracted and extended positions.
Do you offer a workout program with the Vector bands?
I see that lego ford gt I have that set too 😁

£22 for shipping the bands😮
