The TRX Bodyweight Suspension training system has generated a mountain of interest since its recent debut. To answer a few questions
and to help illustrate a few of the finer points of TRX training, we took some pictures of a recent training session:
The TRX - Power in Simplicity
| There are two
things that become obvious about the TRX system right off the bat -- the fact that it is so portable and that it takes
up about as much room as a loaf of bread.
The TRX can go anywhere you do since it weighs less than 2 pounds. |
The TRX Pushup
A variety of pressing movements can be
performed with the TRX, allowing for a range of motion that is simply not possible with other types of equipment. Here I am going into a push-up/fly combo.
Dips are also an incredibly valuable movement, although the height of the attachment was not conducive to them at this location.
Still, dips, pull-ups and other
pressing movements will feel incredibly intense based on the instability factor. Also, keep in mind that this instability
contributes to a tremendous core workout.
Another advantage is that you can adjust the resistance level based on where you position your feet, making the TRX useful
for athletes of all strength levels. |

Another great advantage of the TRX is that you can move into different exercises instantly without needing to make any adjustments. Here's a look at the standing row.
Again, pull-ups can be performed easily when the attachment situation allows it. This particular setup was not high enough for pull-ups but perfect for rows.
And, like many other movements, the resistance can be adjusted quickly by moving your feet position. Even if you can't perform a single pull-up, you will be able to
get in a great workout with the TRX. Note the bicep supination at the top of the movement for greater arm emphasis. |

... And right into the single arm row variation immediately after the two-arm rowing exercise is completed.
|
TRX Adjustment
|
For the next exercise, the length of the straps will have to be adjusted -- it takes less than 5 seconds to do so.
|
TRX Ultimate Ab Workout
|
You'll feel this position immediately -- but holding this is not the name of the game. From there, I swing my legs back and forth
like the pendulum of a clock. All in all, this exercise takes roughly a minute and I am still feeling it three hours later.

It's a bit of a workout getting out of the TRX after ab work but you will get the hang of it quickly.
