Suspension training

[Steve Bullman]

Who is doing this? Im looking to add it into my routine somewhere and need to buy the gear. The benchmark seems to be the TRX system @ £140, but there are loads of seamingly identical setups on ebay around the £30 mark. Need to know if they are as good, and looking for opinions from those in the know, thanks

Some friends of mine use gymnastic rings, they have really benefitted from them, phenomenal improvements

I'm telling you the are the best for overall strength. kettlebells are good also..but better for conditioning.

 

gymnastic training will find your weaknesses and make you train them as perfoming skills like front lever, handstands and iron cross are not possible without correct mobility and tendon strength and maximum body tension. you need to look at the progress in years rather than months and think about training skill movements maybe 3 at a time rather than body parts.

 

Look at it like this...why add weights to exercises if you can not master your own bodyweight first. lifting weights is easy...getting strong ain't.

Do the gymnast rings offer anything over the other straps other than being cheaper?

Steve, [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES5GN9k7BZw]try this[/ame].

 

A mate made one, for like £5, had few bits and bobs but cheap. He modded that principle a bit, just made it neater but works the same as another chaps trx....
