 Think those TRX-style gadgets are just for newbies  Think again  Try these challenging exercises  by Calvin Huynh  July 23, 2018August 18, 2019 Tags Bodybuilding, Powerlifting & Strength, Tips, Training Suspension straps – popularized by the TRX brand – are commonly used when trainers are working with complete beginners. If you're a newbie or very overweight, the straps allow you to squat, lunge, and press with assistance to ensure proper movement mechanics. But for the hardcore lifter, suspension straps are seen as a sissy piece of equipment.

That's a pretty close-minded bro mindset. In fact, some of the exercises below will have even the buffest meatheads begging for mercy after a few reps. These exercises are subtly hard, especially when done at challenging angles.

They'll provide a new stimulus, reveal weak areas, and build muscle and strength. One-Arm Row These will challenge you more than any dumbbell row. You'll be essentially rowing your bodyweight with one arm.

Don't let your shoulder shrug up, keep your core braced, and pull with control. You'll feel your core work double-time to stabilize the offset load. Your pulling muscles will also contract deeply.

To make it easier, simply go flat footed or adjust your angle. Pistol Squat Most people can't do a pistol squat and they neglect their single-leg work. This exercise will fix that.

The straps help you maintain balance, proper hip position, and ideal lumbar position. Don't be fooled though, it's still stupid-hard after just a few reps.

If you want your core to work even harder, you can hang from only one strap. W Row Most lifters are chronically internally rotated at the shoulders.

Bodysaw These will make planks feel like a walk in the park. To do them, keep your core braced, move slowly, and fight the urge to go into lumbar extension. You'll know right away if your core is a weak point if you're shaking after just one rep.

For the others you can do the same thing, but that probably won't be necessary as you can apply more stress simply by changing your angle. The more parallel your trunk is to the ground the harder it'll be.

A solid plan to build strength and trigger more muscle growth would be to alternate between increasing reps and changing your angle. For example: Week 1: Add more reps
Week 2: Take a half step forward
Week 3: Add more reps at new angle
Week 4: Take another half step forward Give these a try and you'll have newfound respect for suspension strap training. Get The T Nation Newsletters
