The folks at Inertia Wave are at it again but this time, it’s the Inertia Wave Strong doing the punishment.

I previously reviewed the original Inertia Wave (Inertia Wave SOLO) and it’s one hell of a metabolic conditioning workout.

But now the Inertia Wave Strong gives you the same HIIT workout as the SOLO, plus the ability to use it as resistance bands!

This gives you a complete balance of metabolic conditioning, core strengthening, and resistance training in one tool.

When I saw this new product, the masochist in me had to give it a try.

Unboxing

The IW Strong came in a small FedEx bag.

The reason I mention this is because unlike a battle rope, the Inertia Wave tubes don’t take up a lot of room.

This makes it great for traveling workouts and easy to store away.

Once pulled out of the FedEx bag, you can see how the tubes, rail straps, and handles store neatly like a garden hose.

They also include a mesh travel bag with the product so you can just toss it in when not in use.

Here’s what’s included with the IW Strong:

2 Inertia Wave Strong tubes
2 rail anchors
2 hand grips
2 padded straps
1 mesh travel bag

Specs

Length – 9 feet
Width – 2 inches
Weight – 1.5 lbs
Material – natural elastomer with enhanced physical properties and trace amounts of latex

Inertia Wave Solo vs Inertia Wave Strong

The Inertia Wave STRONG is an evolution of the Inertia Wave SOLO.

You get all of the same benefits and movements as the SOLO with the addition of strength exercises.

The Inertia Wave STRONG is modified for several new attachments that allow you to challenge your body through resistance during your normal Inertia Wave routine.

The major difference between the two products, is the STRONG has a green noose built into the end of each tube.

That green noose gives you the ability to attachable hand grips and two black straps.

That way you can use the tubes as resistance bands for a complete upper and lower body strength training workout.

The SOLO doesn’t bring any handles or straps since it doesn’t have a noose at the end of each tube.

Anchoring the IW Strong

Before you start any exercise with the IW Strong, you have to make sure it’s anchored correctly.

You want to anchor the black rail straps 24″ to 36″ apart from each other.

Make sure the height of the anchor point is about waist high.

You can anchor the Inertia Waves bands to almost anything.

Dumbbells, fences, rails, weight sleds, trees, etc.

This makes the IW Strong easy to travel with.

Inertia Wave Strong Resistance Exercises

The Inertia Wave website shows you 13 different resistance exercises you can do with the STRONG.

The exercises will hit most major muscle groups.

Here are some of them:

Abs, core, and obliques

Hip thrusts

Bicep curls

Reverse lunges

Standing triceps and core

I gotta admit though, the more I use these tubes, the more exercises I continue to add to my routines.

I find myself trying out trying new ways to use the IW Strong as you can see in the video below.

I’m using a combo of the Inertia Wave method, followed by sledge hammer slams, then rows.

Warning

Just want to give you heads up so you don’t end up hurting yourself or damaging the product.

When doing the Inertia Wave oscillating methods, make sure you remove the handles and padded straps.

If you perform the oscillating exercises while holding on to the handles or straps, you can break the green noose at the end of the tubes.

What you want to do instead, is remove the handles and grab the tubes by the rubber grip just like you would with the SOLO.

Inertia Wave Strong Benefits

The Inertia Wave is a form of High Intensity Interval Training and is designed to build a stronger core and enhance your speed, stamina, and strength.

Once you start oscillating the tubes, the resistance you’re working against is the inertia that builds up in the tubes.

Whatever amount of energy you put into it, it will throw right back out at you.

So not only do you exert energy by moving the tubes but your body has to resist the energy the tubes shoot back at you.

The added benefit of the IW Strong is that now you’re adding a resistance training component to the mix.

This forces you to use your entire body and engage all your muscles.

Inertia Wave Strong Coupon Code

Because the Inertia Wave Strong has been modified to do more than the Inertia Wave Solo, it does cost a bit more than its predecessor.

They added several attachments plus the ability to stretch like a resistance band.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I like what Inertia Wave’s done with the STRONG.

Adding resistance training to a conditioning product gives you a full body workout from one tool.

Will this replace weights?

Of course not, but it’s just an option to add resistance training to your workouts if you don’t the ability to go to a gym or don’t own weights.

It’s travel friendly and you attach it to practically anything to get a workout in.
