I got a lot out of that explanation! ..I like your reference to the internal meditative aspect of TRX workouts.I'm noticing that is a big part of TRX workouts,perhaps more so than other types of routines that I've used.
Thank you for the information. It is very helpful. I do a lot of what you talked about but I definitely can being in more of the allowing my muscles to heal fully be for training again. I love that you talked about the meditative aspect. I have noticed that I am doing some of this however I think I will even be more mindful of this aspect after your video
Sure thing, what specifically would you like to know with regards to rep and tempo? Are you looking to maximise muscle growth (hypertrophy) or strength / power?
@@fitnessfreedomathletes Yes that is my goal. I can say I'm a Level 2 Beginner because I have built up my form and techniques in all movement patterns. I use a 3-0-1-0 tempo considering all 3 phases that you've mentioned. Would just like to hear your thoughts on rep tempo generally and your recommendations.
I'm over 50 I have many injuries from a lifetime of grappling, and the TRX is the only equipment that I can use to actually work my muscles while having the ability to avoid injuries or pain because of forced positioning of dumbbells and barbells, for someone who likes to remain practical agile and fit without the injuries you can't beat the TRX ,
I couldn't agree more. It works with the biomechanics of an individuals body and not against it. I used to get injured regularly, years ago when training in a gym. Exercising with my balls and not my brain. 6 years using only a TRX for fitness and not a single injury. Problems that I assumed were for life (the usual rotator and areas of the lower back), have also completely gone. Leading me to the understanding that my body alignment was actually off. A focus on perfect TRX technique with a powerful mind-muscle connection corrected it. It's a wonderful tool for the reasons you state. I also believe to body build and transform the body. Which is my fascination and passion
Hey. I really like your training style. The explanations / theory is really great. Did you build (and maintain) your body 100% with TRX or do you use weights as well. Also do your paid programmes cover nutrition and stretching as well?
Thanks, I hope it was useful. No I don't use weights or a gym, only used a TRX and resistance band for 6 years now travelling, at home and in nature. Yes the Programs cover nutrition, each purchase comes with a free 29pg nutrition guide. The need to stretch, in my opinion, if you're referring to lack of mobility? Is a sign of weakness. Muscular imbalance. All the Programs workouts are structured for muscular balance with progressive development. That being said there is a warm-up video and a recommended stretch protocol to cool down within the Programs.
Thanks so much for this video Adam! It was really encouraging. I've been working with a trx for a while now and your training videos are pretty much the best our there when it comes to trx. I've been working with a shoulder injury so keeping training slow and consistent, still doing basic curls because the longer holds feel a bit too intense for the injury.. Would you advice staying with curls at a high rep range (not destroying the muscle completely) until the muscle builds up a bit, or would fewer reps with longer holds be more effective?
Thank you for the comment, I'm really pleased they are a help. When it comes to injury it's really hard to comment constructively without knowing the condition. I wouldn't want to suggest anything that may set you back. My advice would be to only do what feels comfortable and stick at that until you are fully healed.
I want to start TRX. I have it also. But I am doing convict conditioning for long. I don't know how to integrate TRX with CC philosophy of milimistic and long term play.
Keep it simple and keep shocking the body. 2-3 months convict conditioning training followed by 2-3 months TRX training. Repeat. I have a range of progressive TRX Workout Programs for various fitness goals and levels if you ever wanted a plan to follow: trxtraveller.com/
Adam, I just bought your Beach Body program and am starting next week. I’d place myself somewhere around intermediate. How (if at all) should I incorporate the advice in this video? In the first four weeks of the program the RPE ranges between 7 and 9, and in the 5th to 8th week it ranges between 8 and 9 (never a 10). Thanks!
Great stuff. The beach body is quite intense as it rotates through a full body depletion every 2 workouts. I would try it for the first 3 weeks as is and see how you find it and your recovery. If your recovery is good and you're finding you can do more, push harder with very little DOMS then I'd say go beyond the RPE and work to ROM failure first across each final set. Measure the same markers, if you're still feeling good recovering really well etc then push to full ROM only failure across all sets etc etc. The measure in the end is how well you recover, then just keep stepping up the intensity as you need. You'll know if you over do it because it will take you 3,4,5,6 even 7 days to recover. Pushing to failure across every single strength range ROM, isometirc and eccentric is very taxing and can really deplete your entire body reserves. Step by step increments. Its taken me 6 years to build up to feel I need to hit full absolute failure on sets.

My girlfriend and I are starting with suspension training during Covid and we find your videos very informative and motivational. Thank you.
That's great to hear. Super glad they are of use to you. Reach out anytime if you have any questions. All the best!
Thankyou for explaining so clearly and simply. The most informative video on TRX I've seen!
Pleasure, glad it was a help

Glad it was a help. In my opinion it's certainly a key aspect to not only muscle development but mindfulness psychological benefits also :)
Thanks for explaining, I'm now seeing a difference when I stop focusing on the number of reps. Now I go to failure, love trx
Pleasure, I’m glad it was useful. All the best with your training!
Thank you 🙏
Subbed
Pleasure, hope it was useful
that's a great point you are making with this video - I liked the distinction you made between beginner/medium/more advanced
Glad it was useful :)

Pleasure, glad it was useful :) mind to muscle is the key to greater development 👌🏼💪🏼
Great reminder Adam, pragmatic and sensible as always thank you
Pleasure, hope it was useful.
Please do a rep tempo video. Your channel is different because you are science based in your training. Love it

Everything takes time
