Today I got a suspension training system. Like the TRX but cheaper. I really like these trainers as there is a lot you can do with them and, done right, they make you suffer.
The one I got can either be suspended from a beam or hooked over the door. I’m going to get a chin up bar installed and hang it from that eventually, if all goes well. Until then I’ll stick with the door.
I’ll do some photographs of these when I have time but my favourite suspension exercises are:
- Rows
- Chest press
- Chest flyes
- Face pulls
- Tricep extensions
- Single leg lunges
- Single leg squats
- Squat jumps
- Planks
- Mountain climbers
- Crunches
- Pikes
This could be fun!

What was the name of the suspension system you got? Did you have a link for it by any chance? I’ve been looking at TRX for a while, but it’s SO expensive here.
