Body Weight Exercises For Size and Strength – Part II

This is the second part of the series “Body Weight Exercises for Size and Strength.” The first part centered in on specific exercises that you can do using only your body. However, there a few products that exist that I would recommend getting to help you get the most out of your bodyweight exercises. These products can enable you to perform exercises that you would normally not be able to do.

One of these products is the TRX Suspension Trainer. I highly recommend this training tool. When you buy the TRX Suspension Trainer Professional it comes with a DVD providing workout programs, a training guide showing you the different exercises that you can perform, and a storage bag. I could go on and describe all of the different exercises that you can do but it would be easier for you to watch a few videos. So I have included them below so that you can see the versatility of the TRX Suspension Trainer and how it can help take your body weight exercises to a new level.

This first video is called an atomic push-up. I know that you can tell by looking at it how difficult the exercise can be to perform.

The second video involves three Pittsburgh Pirates that use the TRX Suspension Trainer. They discuss how they use it. One of the things that I like about it is that it allows you to perform some body weight bicep exercises. The only other body weight bicep exercise that most can do is the chin-up or pull-up. This gives you more options. Check out the video.

This is kind of a cool video. Someone took a TRX Suspension Trainer on the the BART train in the Bay area and performed a workout on the train. It shows how easy and portable the TRX Suspension Trainer is. You can literally get a workout anywhere (even on the train).

This video discuss the concept of vector resistance. You have the ability to increase the intensity of any exercise by altering the angle of your body.
