TRX: I just got done trying to use the TRX for all of my exercising. I did this for 3 solid months. I set down the weights, Kettlebells, dumb bells, medicine balls, barbells!!! EVERYTHING!!! I didn't even step foot into a gym and I have 2 gym memberships!
Now, the TRX can be used for every body part and muscle group. It is an amazing piece of equipment and I highly recommend it!
I would never recommend someone to solely use the TRX for their workouts.
I lost over an inch of muscle in my arms and 3 inches in my chest and back, and my body fat went from 6% to 11%.
I never sustained the hard, veiny pump I get from using weights. I also never felt that I actually did a real workout after using it. That includes the hour long classes at the TRX training center. It just wasn't the same.
Now... The TRX IS amazing, though. Now, I mix TRX workouts with weights and other forms of body weight exercises and it makes the workouts SO much better!
For instance, it is back day and I will do all of my back exercises with weights first then I will do burn out sets with the TRX. Now the TRX is adding an incredible shock to my muscles.
You can even set it up as a circuit routine. Do bench press then do TRX push ups or skull crushers then do TRX triceps extensions. You get the picture.
This, I believe is the best way to use the TRX. Or switch between weights and the TRX. Never get stuck on one form of working out. Mix it up and watch the results come quick. I started back at the gym 1 week ago and I got 1 inch of muscle back already and lowered my body fat down 2%.
Muscle does in fact have memory, you just need to help its memory and remind it of what it once was. If you are trying to build something you never had before, remember to push yourself. Achieving your goals takes work. Pain and sweat are part of the road.
