TRX Bands

By: CombatChaz on Tuesday, July 15, 2008

One of my fighters is a Certified Strength and Conditioning coach and was at a recent convention in Las Vegas. She called me and asked me if I would like any training aids from down there, and I told her to pick up anything she though would be of benefit.

She came back with some bands called "TRX" and I reimbursed her the $150.00 bucks that it cost. We then sat down an watched the video, didn't look to rough- so I decided to go through the TRX basic workout.

Basically it is 12 different exercises each done for a minute with a 20 second rest. I made it through the workout ok, only one exercise gave me problems...and then proceeded to put several of my fighters through it as well.

. I am very happy with this device and the workout we received. I now plan to get several more so we can go through the workout as a group.

here is a video demonstrating some techniques on the TRX:

I am sore as hell. my fighters are too. Needless to say, we are adding the TRX to our workout schedule.

We have a TRX in our gym. As a certified personal trainer, I can guarantee that you'll get a phenomenal workout. Especially when you get more advanced and add creativity to the moves! And I am NOT affiliated with or working for TRX!!

The shoot exercises are usually done with JC or Lifeline or Slastix bands hooked onto a shoulder harness or waist belt and held by a trainer or attached to a sturdy piece of equipment or wall. If I remember "All Access" he shot all the way across the gym floor, so the trainer held the bands.

I have been using the TRX for personal training my fighters for over 6 months now and they love it. It is a great piece of equipment.

This is a horrible piece of equipment. It has been proven that it actually decreases strength, agility, speed, and endurance with each and every use. Any real gym would ban the use of this contraption and definitely not encourage other athletes into getting suckered into wasting their $150. With that said, I have a feeling I'll be back to my suffering on the TRX tomorrow Smile

Tomorrow is going to be rough!! I loved it so much I got on line today and ordered my own set of trx bands!!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and bloo

Not a super tough workout but great for getting back some conditioning.

I did some exercises with coach eddie this morning...and this thing is killer. My abs were on fire afterwords. But it was all worth it.
