TRX / Suspension / sling strength training

[Bare Lee]

Its working great, its like an entirely different deadlift. Much more squatish. I can finally do shrugs again too.

I'm envious. Someday I'll have to invest in a proper Olympic set-up.

What leg stuff? Can't you just use the straps?

I'll need the handles for

reverse flies and
pull overs

I'll be using the straps for

walk-up handstands,
pendulum,
pikes, &
crunches.

I've been using a thigh strap with a chain hooked up to my cable machine, but I think the gear I just ordered will work better for the leg stuff, and it has a door stopper too, which will be good for the walk-up handstands, which should be a great finishing exercise on my shoulder and lats st day.

Ok, now I've gotta have some, since happysongbird mentioned hooking them up to trees. How cool is that.

I think "overpriced" is in the eye of the purchaser. I like all the details on the TRX. They make it easy and comfortable for a novice like me. That means I will use it more. If I paid less for something, but it didn't work for me, then it was a waste.

Now, I just watched that first video Willie posted, couldn't you just save some money and use rope to do this? Seems to me it would be a hell of a lot cheaper. These exercises are definitely intriguing though. I think I would rather use rope because when I get bored with these type exercises the rope is reusable for something else.
