Hi guys, I created this video to accompany The TRX Fitness Freedom Workout Programs - Find your specific TRX Workout Program for YOUR GOALS: trxtraveller.com/which-trx-program-is-right-for-you/ I hope you found it useful, thanks for watching!
Hi Adam, I've been following you for a while now. I just wanted to thank you for this video. I recently hurt my lower back training with kettlebells, feeling a little under the weather because I can't workout but this video just made my day. All your explanations have helped me feel the pump in my muscles without feeling any pain. So thank you very much. Have a great day ❤
That’s great to hear! Really pleased they have been helpful to you. I’ve had a lower back injury myself a long time ago. It’s frustrating, nice one for working round it. Wishing you a speedy recovery 💪🏼💪🏼
Another great video Adam. The full walkthru is appreciated and helps to understand it alot better. What strength is your resistance band at the end of the video? I wanna pick one up cuz those tricep pressdowns looked amazing. Whenever you do your next videos of back and shoulder split or whatever its going to be, can you include another band exercise in the videos? They seem amazing to mix in with TRX workouts. Thanks as always bud, much appreciated.
Thanks for the comment Luke! Sure thing will do, I'll try to remember and pop a few into each workout vid from now on. I actually have a full coaching playlist for Resistance Band exercises here if that's any use to you: ua-cam.com/play/PLb3Kmt1u1P2BDfXuY9TjFWOumMB6yZwQ-.html I'm a big advocate of Band training due to the differing tension it creates on the muscles - highly effective.
@@fitnessfreedomathletes Oh damn, did not know you had ALL these videos on bands, kettle bells and other cool stuff. Yeah these band exercises will be amazing to incorporate into workouts. I've been trying to do TRX, dumbbells, body weight stuff, and now bands. Yeah even 1 extra band movement in the video as an optional exercise seems like a cool thing to add if you're doing it yourself anyways already! Thanks again brother!
Hey Adam, thanks for a really cool video. I like the focus on the mind-muscle connection and the more calm, mindful atmosphere compared with other TRX channels. I have a question about the skull crushers triceps exercise: you say to focus on the stretch and not on the push at the top, but this is opposite of what you said in an older video of yours "The 6 BEST TRX exercises for your arms", where you focus specifically on the push and the top and you say that a too big stretch to the back can affect the elbows. What would be a conclusion on this? Since this video is newer, is it better than the older one, or if I have some elbow pain I should indeed not do a too big stretch? Thanks for creating awesome videos.
No worries, super glad it was useful. Great question. The answer is farily simple in nature but complex in application. And is the same for all TRX exercises progression = experience level.... This video above is an advanced workout... For Skullcurshers with beginners/intermediates = it's more important to focus on learning the top squeeze while safely and confidently pushing up. Until the muscles and joints get stronger. For advanced skull crushers and other TRX exercises = important to learn how to then play in the stretch (bottom end range of motion) of certain exercises as we can achieve a better top contraction squeeze with other exercises such as TRX close grip press (a great exercise to superset with these). But the skull crushers are no.1 for playing in the stretch for the triceps. After years of practice, the muscles and joint areas should be strong enough to go to deeper ranges of motion. And also the mind should have the belief to do it confidently. The above is my own opinion from experience and learning from other exceptional peers in the bodybuilding world via mentorship programs. There are always multitudes of ways to challenge muscles depending on every person's biomechanics. We're all individual and learning what feels best for you at your stage is what is right. I would suggest trying to do the stretch and increasing your strength across a large range of motion. It may be that your locking out too much at the top rather than focusing on the squeeze which could aggravate your elbows.
Great video ! A question on the scull crusher, in this video you go behind the head. In the video linked in the beginners series you recommend going to the top of your head. Is going behind your head seen as a progression or what's the reason for the different methods? Thx
Hey Mikael, very well spotted. It's simply a matter of what's needed at that time depending on level that the person is at. For a beginner focusing on a range of motion that isn't at such extremes (like in this vid) is enough to elicit a response and thus development. This is good for No.1) safety: as going to these ranges can cause injury on a muscle that isn't well developed and takes practice. The last thing I'd want is for someone new to TRX to hurt themselves, loose confidence and be put off and No.2) it's best practice in my opinion to leave something (whether that be intensity, ROM like in this video or nutrition) for the body to advance on to once it adapts. In the more advance TRX Programs like the TRX PHYSIQUE SCULPTOR (trxtraveller.com/product/ultimate-trx-physique-sculpting-program/) I coach larger, more extreme ranges of motion and higher intensity with time under tension like in this vid: ua-cam.com/video/1BXrWFrmJKs/v-deo.html and in beginner - good optimal ranges of motion and lesser intensity with time under tension. Great spot though, you must be good with your technique and mindfulness when training ;)
Hi Adam, top drawer as always, ask for help, I have prolapsed discs in my neck, had surgery 2 years ago but irreversible atrophy on right tricep and pec, post two years so not coming back, I try and work around it but pressing exercises are poor, any recommendations as to how i can take the tricep out of chest on TRX ? Cheers David
Hey there, I’m sorry to hear about that. I’m not qualified enough to advise you correctly with regards to the post surgery rehab elements. My thought would be if you wish to train the chest without a pressing action? Then perhaps focus on mastering TRX flys. I prefer these to pressing as the top contraction squeeze you can apply to the upper chest at the peak range of motion is fantastic! Combined with the stretch of the pecs at the bottom end of ROM. They’re a strong developer when mastered. This coaching vid may help: ua-cam.com/video/H5JUPQGtCIQ/v-deo.html
No, this is aimed at intermediate/advanced. An Upper / lower split is what I normally Program and recommend for beginners: trxtraveller.com/product/trx-total-body-transformation-program/
@@kingdevio95 Great idea. 4/5 exercises one day for upper, 3/4 exercises next day for lower and you're good. Stick to the basic stuff. Practice perfect technique and mindful muscle connection.
Because I didn't really know what I was doing with UA-cam 4 years ago 😂. Here's the full body warm-up at normal pace - ua-cam.com/video/pFfPDBpwAaE/v-deo.html

My favorite TRX workouts is the power pull and squats with y fly.
Sounds like a lot in move!
@@fitnessfreedomathletes well I do the powerful first with two sets of 15 and then the squats with y fly.
Ahh I gotcha, yea, nice love it!
excellent, just excellent
Hope it was useful :) best of luck with your training
No wonder you look as good as you do! Everything is so carefully planned out! You have really helped my training.
I'm glad I could help! Best of luck with your TRX training!

@@fitnessfreedomathletes thank you, Adam ♥️
Great info, will have to incorporate the half rep
Ooooh it's a real burner!
It would be super helpful if you didn’t speed up the transitions so we could all have a chance to switch over without having to pause and restart
Thank you for the feedback, I'll make sure not to do that in future and keep it real-time.
Detailed as always 🙌🙌🐼
Thanks, hope it gives some nuggets!

Hey where is the warm up video you had that was in Buenas Aires?
Hey there, I've placed all the coaching videos for the Programs on the fitnessfreedomathletes.com/
@@fitnessfreedomathletes even the warmup one?
thank you again, exactly what i need, just please slow down the warm up, why speed it up?
Great video !

@@fitnessfreedomathletes Thanks Adam, going to get to this Monday (chest day) your advice and support is always appreciated, cheers David
@@davidmarshall5584 Pleasure, reach out anytime. Always happy to help if I can.
Do you think it is good for a beginner to do all these exercises at 3 sets 3 reps? Will that be overworking or no? Thanks!
No, this is aimed at intermediate/advanced. An Upper / lower split is what I normally Program and recommend for beginners: trxtraveller.com/product/trx-total-body-transformation-program/
@@fitnessfreedomathletes Ok Thank You, I am planning on doing a upper/lower split, and use a modified version of these exercises as my upper version
@@kingdevio95 Great idea. 4/5 exercises one day for upper, 3/4 exercises next day for lower and you're good. Stick to the basic stuff. Practice perfect technique and mindful muscle connection.
What are those handles you are holding onto the ground?
Hi there! They are called press-up handles
Why do you stretch after exercises?
To encourage additional blood flow and catabolic breakdown to the muscle area 👍🏼💪🏼
Why do you speed up the warm up for a follow along vid? A person following is not going to get the same warm up.
Because I didn't really know what I was doing with UA-cam 4 years ago 😂. Here's the full body warm-up at normal pace - ua-cam.com/video/pFfPDBpwAaE/v-deo.html
