I've been doing TRX legs exercise - inner, outer quad and hamstrings, studied from one of your videos. And you know what, my knees really get stronger. Less cracks and pops. even though i'm 48 yrs old. And the wonderful things i learned from you is mind-muscle connection or always activate the muscle or always squeeze it. in other words, i don't need heavy weights anymore, just TRX and Focus and Squeezing, but my muscles keep growing and growing. and no more harm to my joints, and in fact it helps healing as well. and I learn that if I keep squeezing the muscle when i do TRX exercise, it's natural to predominatly focus on the negative or eccentric, so I automatically can't do it fast. anyway, i just want to appreciate your works and teachings. it works and helps me a lot. I gain more muscle from TRX now than in the gym when i was young. have a nice day!

Thank you for this comment, it made my day! Literally everything you say is absolutely right. Love your focus and motivation! All the best with your TRX workouts!

[@michaelmikejo7713]

Totally agree! More muscles, better joints, doing short workouts. Thank you very much.

exact same here!!

[@tomm7854]

Can’t thank you enough for this. I had a knee replacement and was really struggling w getting squats going again. Your video is excellent for those of us smart enough to realize that a straight squat could be playing-with-fire, but that a reasoned approach to the squat can help w getting muscle strength back, without screwing up the joint. Brilliant my man!

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Hi! I just found this video and gave it a try! My right knee is very weak. I’m just checking, I only go down as far as I can without pain yes? I guess as my muscles get stronger I will be able to go lower? Thank you so much!

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

That's correct. Take your time, go slower and squeeze your legs muscles all the time so they take the load away from your joints.

Could you do this with your heel elevated?

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Sure thing, if that works for you and allows you to get a better range of motion, go for it!

[@jennyosyoga]

Could a light resistance band be used to build a recognition of the activation so like when they release the tension that push out for the quads they feel the band release? Actually I’m thinking a strap that doesn’t push back, like a yoga strap. Going to try these for myself.

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Absolutely, here's a video on it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4ixnYmrjMpnppo

Question for ya. I’ve been doing jumprope HIIT style workouts for a while with regular calisthenics, and I’ve decided to up the game by swapping in the TRX. Do you think it’s a good idea to do jumprope/TRX HIIT workouts, or should I break up the cardio and TRX separately? And if so, would it be better to do the TRX first? Main goal is weight loss and body recomposition. To my knowledge nobody is doing jumprope/TRX workouts so I figure there’s got to be a reason why. Or it’s just that no one has bothered lol.

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Personally, I would split it into 2... 1) HIIT: Whatever tool you wish to do HIIT with is all good so long as it works. Jump rope, spin bike, running I'd say would be the easiest for this. You can certainly use a TRX for HIIT, just needs a little planning of the routine to get that heart pumping. 2) Muscle building: For me and what I teach clients, this is what we use the suspension trainer for. To build lean, healthy muscle and turn the body into a performance machine. If you wanted to do them both together, do the HIIT after the muscle building. Or on different days or times of day

[@treesaremadeofwood2145]

My knees are stuffed from squatting double my bodyweight when I was a bodybuilder in thongs or squatting bare foot on hard soil with a barbell instead of using dumbbells.

[@fitnessfreedomathletes]

Never to late to try and restore them!

[@treesaremadeofwood2145]

@@fitnessfreedomathletes oh I'm definitely trying to restore them, currently doing essentially a fully body blast, except tonight will be doing the legs while I wait an extra day for the triceps be at 💯% ready for another workout 👍
