    Thanks for watching! Here's the updated discount code for you, if you're interested: TRX15KEITH
    (TRX changed the code from 20% to 15% off, sorry!)

    • @morrisboris6877

      Many generic brands out there that are of equal or higher quality and cost way less than TRX, even with 15% discount.
      If you MUST get the TRX, avoid the low-end, budget-minded Go or Fit or whatever they're calling it now. It's a piece of shit.

    I do a combination of exercise movements with various things. I utilize: Dumbbells, Cables, Machines, Resistance Bands, and the TRX. There are ways to make the TRX Exercises more challenging. Weighted Vest, ankle weights, Resistance Band and/or dumbbells with certain movements. Combination Movements such as Squat to Row are one way to do it also.
    I don't do much barbell exercises these days due to health ailments. Nothing does beat the good ole fashioned weights. However, one must do what they do to keep moving.

      Like so many, you missed the purpose of suspension straps. They're used to develop the stabilizer muscles in your body. These muscles keep you from falling when you move and they are all over your body. Seeing you are older now and have health issues, it would be wise that you keep using the straps instead of the weights.

    Bought a cheap copy of it. Excellent to activate back muscles, just excellent. For shoulders too. Not necessary for other things, although it's great for core exercises too. I still love to lift weights though, especially some load for squats and deadlift

    • @thedurablebody
      @thedurablebody  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey DS! Yeah definitely great for back and core exercises! I like to use weights for legs as well. There’s something about lifting a heavy weight off the ground lol.

    We have been using TRX in conjunction with Kettlebells for several years with tremendous success. All our clients appreciate the combination of strength and flexibility. Kettlebells will make you stronger and TRX will increase your strength and add vital flexibility.

    • @morrisboris6877

      Correct while at the same time incorrect. I train with both straps and kettlebells. See other posts for rationale.

    TRX is good for making certain exercises feel more uniformly difficult through the full ROM.
    I'm putting together a cheap gym kit for my nephew. I tied used handles to a rope for a poor man's TRX, and some thrift store pushup handles and dumbell, with a green Rogue band for attching the dumbell to his foot.

      I’m all about the bands too! It’s good to get some added resistance in there. And it’s also pretty versatile too!

  • @vatsmith8759

    I'm sure the genuine TRX is superb but for us amateurs a cheaper knock-off is likely to be perfectly adequate. I use the Decathlon 'Suspension Trainer' currently discounted at £12.99.

    A question on the grips, I have an imitation I bought at Aldi long ago but tempted to get the original trx as the grips in the one I have move around quite a bit making it a lot harder for my wrists...
    Hope you can answer... does your code work worldwide?

    • @thedurablebody
      @thedurablebody  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Francesca! I would say the handles on the TRX are pretty sturdy. They don’t slide around. I haven’t noticed any problems with it. I think the code should work internationally, but it’s worth giving it a shot! Btw, the code is now TRX15KN for 15% off instead of 20 😕.
      The Trx-go on amazon is the cheapest one. I haven’t tried that one before but it’s supposed to have a thinner strap than the others and doesn’t have an adjustable foot strap. The handles are foam.
      I’m using the home2 system which is mid-tier, thicker strap, so more durable. The handles have a dense foam grip. Works pretty well for me so far!
      The pro-system is the highest quality. Thickest straps. The handles are a textured rubber for better grip and easier to clean. Also has adjustable foot straps.
      The tactical ones are like the pro but camo and has bigger foot straps to fit boots.
      I think the home2 system would work well for most people and it’s really good quality. But if you use the TRX a lot, use it outdoors, get it sweaty or dirty, I think the pro4 would be a worthy investment and will definitely be durable and last you a very long time.
      I hope that helps Francesca! Let me know if you have any more questions!

      The TRX brand is unnecessarily overpriced. Cheaper alternatives are available, like making your own. However, if not done properly, it might not be as versatile or safe.

  • @rnguyen2516

    I guess with TRX, the “progressive overload” would be limited, right? Would the fact that it is suspension style, it engages more muscles?

    • @thedurablebody
      @thedurablebody  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey @rnguyen2516! There are ways to make it harder like going to one leg or one arm. Beyond that, you could wear a weighted vest, but that might be it. Other ways to make it harder is going slower or doing more reps of course. And yes, I would say the suspension style probably engages more stabilizing muscles and especially core.

    • @morrisboris6877
      @morrisboris6877 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      What suspension strap exercises do is build up your core or stabilizer muscles. They are the muscles that stabilize your body so you don't fall down when you move. There's the added benefit of building strength when you do the exercises for an extended period of time. I did only suspension training and nothing else for one year. Developed a lot of strength and stability. However, don't do it for more than 8 months straight, as there was no gain after that. You should switch to something else and occasionally incorporate the straps. I switched to kettlebells.

      I do like lifting something heavy lol. Some people like weights, some like, some people like calesthenics/suspension training, some people like both. I like adding some variety into my workouts. I’ll also use it for calesthenic-type of training and can even scale it down for rehab purposes. It’s pretty handy!

      What’s your cash app? I’ll buy it off you. I travel a lot for work and don’t always have a gym near by or a “fitness center” in the hotel. Not that you can call a treadmill and a single dumbbell a fitness center….

    • @morrisboris6877
      @morrisboris6877 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Incorrect that it's a total body workout. Also incorrect if you think it's a muscle builder. Rather, suspension straps develop the stabilizer muscles which weighs and machines don't target. Stabilizer muscles are the ones that keep you from falling down when you move.

  • @deanivan3951

      Actually, gymnastic rings serve a different purpose, as do weights and machines. You might discover improved performance on the rings when you also train with a strap
