Examples for TRX & Suspension Training

TRX Chest Press with 3 sets of 12 reps

Total Volume: 0 lbs x 36 reps = 0 lbs

Bodyweight exercises like the TRX Chest Press focus on muscle endurance rather than weight, making calculated volume in lbs non-applicable.

TRX Rows with 4 sets of 10 reps

Total Volume: 0 lbs x 40 reps = 0 lbs

Calculated volume remains non-applicable for TRX Rows as they utilize body weight, emphasizing stability and control.

TRX Squats with 5 sets of 15 reps

Total Volume: 0 lbs x 75 reps = 0 lbs

This example highlights how TRX Squats enhance lower body strength using bodyweight without traditional weight volume.

Understanding Training Volume

Training volume refers to the total amount of work performed in a workout, typically measured in reps and sets. For TRX and suspension training, it's essential to track how many repetitions and sets you can perform at varying levels of difficulty.

Importance of Bodyweight Training

Bodyweight training, like TRX exercises, emphasizes strength, stability, and mobility without the need for heavy weights. Understanding training volume helps you progress and adapt your workouts effectively over time.

Progression Techniques

To advance in TRX training, consider modifying your angle, increasing the number of sets and reps, or incorporating more challenging exercises. Tracking your training volume can guide your progression.
