This pump is a small pump to pressurise a shock suspension for Mountain bikes.

The catch is that works with the wrists but I wonder if someone could adapt it to a structure to work like a feet pump system...and then adapt that system so that instead of putting our weight with the feet we could put our body weight like a 2 hands system...

If you had several of them working in parallel, you could overcome the small volume of the pump. The other thing to remember is that getting 300PSI from a 600PSI pump would be quite effortless, so if all you need is 200 or 300 PSI then this could be a good choice for you.

It´s also necessary to say that this type of pump doesn´t (i think) connect to a typical tire valve but to a special valve in rear shock for bikes so you have make a adaption...

i noticed that the pressure chamber is verry small,and you could get 600 psi with only your arms, i wonder if making a pump out of 1/2" plumbing parts would give the same ammount of pressure with less effort.

im certainley going make one and post the test result on the forum.
it's worth trying
