Mar 26, 2019 · My best pull-up numbers were when I was not doing any pull-ups and was only doing seated narrow grip cable rows which would be similar to narrow ring bodyweight rows. However, rings make it a little more difficult to work specific grips (supinated, neutral, pronated) for pull-ups which is a factor in training the specific muscle pattern though.

Feb 23, 2016 · +1 on the previous mentions of TRX (or jungle gym, or rings, or just a low bar of any kind), and using these to do inverted rows (feet on heels, plank, pull yourself up), weighted with a vest or backpack

Aug 14, 2023 · TRX comes with a door anchor so you can mount It anywhere and be able to get in a good workout. Rings work better with a bar to anchor them on, I'm sure you can adapt them to work elsewhere but less convenient. Also the moves that work best on rings really need them to be anchored directly above and high up which you can't do with a door.

Jun 22, 2023 · I've been using rings and $45 NOSSK suspension trainer with a door pull up bar just fine. However, the day could come when the combined weight of my own bodyweight plus kettlebells on a dip belt exceeds the 300 lb. capacity of my door pul up bar.

Oct 3, 2017 · Hello I got a TRX not too long ago. So far I have been loving what it's doing for my rows, pistols, and support work (like with parallel bars). Rows on the TRX are a whole separate ballpark than Australian pull ups from a bar, and way easier on my forearms/wrists. I'm really looking forward to...

Apr 5, 2023 · The entire reason I've always combined suspension trainers and kettlebells is because kettlebells have limited options for pull training and suspension trainers offer nearly limitless options for pull training. The TRX portion of the workout (squats, hip bridges, push-ups and chest flyes) basically works the exact same muscles as the KB ...

There is only one contender—a hollow position pull-up, strict and heavy. Note that “hollow” does not mean hollowing your abdomen/sucking in your stomach. The hollow position is a posture from gymnastics designed to maximize your strength: tensed and shortened abs, tensed glutes, a tucked-in pelvis, flared shoulder blades, and a slightly ...

Feb 19, 2025 · So I react well to high reps per set and low reps, but high frequency. I could keep that up for months on end, and usually had great carry-over to weighted pull-ups. On the other hand, if I did weighted pull-ups, I found I would plateau after around 8 weeks, and have close to zero direct carry-over to higher numbers.

Feb 6, 2025 · If the OP can easily do say, 3 reps, he can easily pile up volume using lower rep sets. For example, 20s x 3r = 60 reps at 'less biological cost' to the organism.. credit: [Al Ciampa], ( it's easily done in less than 30 mins as the body's volume building skill/progress is being made).. . I like to superset with push/pull movements in the format.

Oct 4, 2024 · 2) A small and a tall step. Good for step-up cardio training or more heavy step up training. Also good for putting your feet on when you do deep push-ups. 3) A back pack with weight. I use my photo camera-bag for light work and another back pack with a kettlebell inside for more heavy work. 4) Pull-up handles in the door. Does not take much space.
