I ask as someone with very little experience using rings - is there any reason why you wouldn't use TRX straps instead of rings?
There are whole bunch of things you can't do on TRX straps because they meet /\ - so you can't do dips for example - or really anything above the handles. It's restrictive even on push ups. Because rings hung individually you have a wider range of adjustment in height and width than TRX straps.There is nothing you can't do on rings that you can do on TRX straps, but there are lots of things you can do on rings that you can't do on TRX straps.
Rings are cheap also.
rings are cheap, bit of a faff putting on the climbing frame, but good fun.

Murph challenge event at the weekend, got second in a time of 38 minutes 22 seconds, feeling sore today. Total weight including vest 220lbs
I lik the sound of murph, but 100 pullups in a single gym visit isn't happening with or without a vest.Halb said:

Yeah it's a good test of overall fitness. The pull ups were fun - it's where I could recover mcelliott said:

king door won’t open......
They had the power off last night, and it reset all the key fobs apparently. It's a magnet lock, so you cant manually do it with anything else from outside. Pain in the ass, I'd taken too much caffeine to go back to sleep, so just had to go home and wait for a bit!
Leg day will have to be tomorrow.

Have been running 5/3/1 BBB (less boring variant) with FSL, 4d/wk, no deload, for a few cycles now.
Going well.

Some of the numbers you guys post up are crazy, there must be some beasts on this thread. After 3 years training at 80kg body weight I can only manage 3x8 bench at 77.5kg or 5x5 80kg. Penlay Row 5x5 75kg. Deadlift was 1x5 140kg but now is only 130kg due to back probs. Squats are out completely due to the same.
I've been trying to sort out a new leg routine to work around no squats and only being able to deadlift light. I tried a powler sled for the first time this week. Liking it alot, after 5 sets of that its like cardio, strength training and an ab workout all in one

4th set of 6 @220kg squat PB

That set killed me off.
Followed by 5x3 box jumps
4x4 125kg paused front squats PB
3x5/5 walking lunge
3x7 leg curl
4x45s max effort spin bike 15s rest
I'm going to hurt tomorrow
I'm at the point where every session is now a PB if I finish it
Rep wise anyway, overhead press doesn't feel as strong as before but I'm comparing videos and a single set vs multiple sets.

We’re all built differently. If you’re getting stronger, you’re doing well. I've been trying to sort out a new leg routine to work around no squats and only being able to deadlift light.

Power sled is awesome. I really wish I had a prowler or similar at home.
