Yes, It Will Hold...
Tim wrote in yesterday with this question:
Does TRX support FULL bodyweight exercisesTim, the short answer is Yes, the TRX will hold fast and secure for every exercise you can think of.
- dips,pullups, muscleups, iron cross etc ?
Thanks,
Tim
How do I know? Its because the TRX is made of industrial strength soft nylon webbing which has been max tested at over 1500 pounds.
You couldn't bust it if you tried.
The real question, I suppose, is whether the attachment point of your choosing is strong enough -- which should not be a problem with a little common sense.
.
Things like the swing set at the park, or an overhead beam in your basement or a steel attachment clip arent going anywhere. Full instructions for secure attachment are included.
Also keep in mind that all those exercises listed are a different animal when done on the TRX so if youre looking for a new challenge, that's one to keep in mind.
I would bet that if you can do 20-30 dips and 15 chins on conventional equipment, you would be lucky to get half that many on the TRX.
I'm talking full reps here, though, your form can always be modified to suit. The good thing about the TRX is that with a simple shift in leverage, it can be just as
much of a challenge for someone just starting out as it is for a Navy Seal.
As I have mentioned several times before, I like the TRX for one specific exercise – everything else is icing on the cake.
It's called the reverse crunch and it's the only ab exercise youll ever need... After doing this exercise fighting champ Bas Rutten said that his abs were so tender that it hurt to laugh...
I know exactly what hes talking about because it happened to me too.
Train hard,
