For strength, stability, core power, flexibility, and balance, suspension training has its merits. The complete guide to TRX Suspension Training is the authoritative guide on science and application of suspension training. Authored by renowned strength and conditioning expert Dr. Jay Dawes, this resource is thorough and it has earned the endorsement of TRX.
Look inside at the coverage, the instruction, advice, and insights and you’ll see why. This resource book is designed to take workouts to unprecedented levels. TRX Suspension Training includes instruction and explanation of more than 120 exercises. Exercises are categorised into upper body, lower body and core exercises and sub-categorised with beginner, intermediate and advanced options. It has excellent photo sequences, variations, and safety recommendations, you’ll learn how to develop and integrate strength, power, core stability, flexibility, and balance with the use of a suspension training system. One important element is the excellent teaching cues listed with each exercise. This really helps with technique and mastering each level.
Another positive aspect of the book is the exercise finder located at the beginning of the book. A quick view of all the exercises listed with page reference and level. This feature is appealing for those who want a quick guide reference separate to the programs.
In the gym, studio or at home, this guide is a suitable training companion. With 25 ready to use programs, you have options for any situation and every desire. There is even a ‘tracking progress’ sample sheet to compare and measure change. If you want a comprehensive book in suspension training, and workouts, then look no further than TRX Suspension Training manual. There is nothing else like it on the market as a guide for suspension training.
In summary:
Strengths – science explained behind suspension training, photos, exercises, suggested programs, teaching cues.
Weaknesses – accuracy level of some of the exercises, prerequisites lacked detail, a glossary of exercises listed in alphabetical order rather than page order for ease of reference.
