New subscriber. Love the tips. I travel a lot for work and my TRX is a must every time I hit the road. Great to have such an effective recourse to use to check technique, etc.

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

I feel you on the travel front, it's a trusty steed. Glad I could be of use, all the best with your training!

Thanks Adam. From this video I realise that I haven’t been putting my feet close enough together for the narrow squat, so this video has been very helpful. Love the muscle builder programme!

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Pleasure, yes it's an advanced form of squatting. Certainly a great one to master to improve flexibility along with muscle development and internal focus

Happy new year mate !

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

And a very happy new year to you too Matt. All the best for it!

[@screamofitness]

Use to have trouble squatting with Trx because I tended to not be light on my grip and was using alot of back making it more of squat with a row really taking resistance off quads.

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

It’s a common occurrence but great that you identified it. All of us never stop learning and practicing technique mastery. Never give up!

Hi Adam! I love your content. Have you ever considered writting an illustrated book/guide to build muscle with TRX? I've been reading different books about training and they have been a great guide for my home workouts. A couple of examples would be "You are your own gym" by Mark Lauren and "Bodyweight strenght training anatomy" by Bret Contreras. Those books offer pictures and illustrations on how to perform the excercises with progressions and regressions. Also they offer chapters on how to craft your own workout plan. I think You should check them out and get inspired on writting the ultimate guide to build muscle with TRX. I would definitely buy it.

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Hi Juan, thanks for your comment and sharing that reading, I'll check it out! I do have quite a few TRX Program (and resistance bands) Program guides right here - trxtraveller.com/trx-programs/ to date they've helped thousands of people all around the world transform their bodies using suspension training anywhere :) There is a coaching video for every single TRX exercise within the progressive Programs, to learn the mind-muscle connection and effective technique mastery. Along with many resources and recommendation links throughout. Reach out anytime if you have any questions - [e-mail]

Sorry for a different topic, I'm trying to really strengthen my lats and rear delts, what would be your number 1 exercise on the trx to improve these, as I'm trying to get better at pull ups so something that will help me with that kind regards mat

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Fav for lats = TRX Reverse grip row Fav for rear delts = TRX Face pulls Ultimately though the best way is just to get on the pull up bar. If you struggle to actually pull up. Then focus on jumping up and lowering yourself slowly from 6-10 seconds. Do this for your working sets. Eventually, you will begin to notice strength gans for the actual pull up part (concentric)

[@matttora106]

@@fitnessfreedomathletes yes Santa actually got me a pull up bar lol , and I thought oh yeah I can do 10 plus pull ups quickly to discover I could only do 3 with good form, the rest I looked like a wet noodle 🍜

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

@@matttora106 hahahaha I can relate. At wet salmon this end

[@americahealth]

TRX Traveler, can you perform squats with a weighted backpack/bag?

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Absolutely, I'd recommend mastering bodyweight, seeing the results and progressing by adding a weighted vest or backpack

[@charlesrodriguez6455]

Adam, how many reps/sets?

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

It would depend on your fitness level and programming goal but as general rule of thumb 2-3 sets of 8-10 reps is good to follow.
