Ok,  we're working in the TRX lab to come up with a 30 day challenge.  While we definitely have some direction as to where to take this, we want to hear your input.

What type of exercises, workouts and routines would you like to see in this next 30 day challenge?

Muscle Ups are sick on the TRX!!!!

=====================================

One Legged-Squat burnout!!

25 on the right,

25 on the left,

straight to 45 second sprinters

I could go on and on.....

=====================================

=====================================

Bring it! I'll try anything once!

I'm up for anything, as long as I can challenge myself!  Let's see what you can come up with.

 I'd like to see the scorpion (and variations) used within the challange.

Also, a challenge that increases verticle leap would be cool.

Thanks!

Muscle ups and Scorpions... Man you guys are hard core! Of course it wouldn't be a challenge if we made it easy would it :).  I like these suggestions. Keep them coming!

My favorite challenge is to give all my clients, I named "The Serious Sevens!"  This is a great burnout for the shoulders.  There are 7 different shoulder exercises facing the anchor.  I have them do 7 reps of each continuing from arms overhead and going through them all, with a 27 second rest, then repeat three times!

1) TRX Deltoid I raise

2) TRX Deltoid Y

3) TRX Deltoid T fly

4) TRX Deltoid W

5) TRX Deltoid L

6) TRX Deltoid A (swimmers pull)

7) TRX Deltoid Split raise (this is 14 times- 7 on each)

27 second rest and repeat

Have fun!

We can't have a hardcore challenge without Suspended Burpees and Sprinters Starts with Power!

Yes, it needs to be a challenge but there are lots of people at different levels. Would it be possible to do a split challenge with a level that is a little more approachable for those of us coming along but not quite to the macho hardbody stage yet? This time of year is when you start to get a lot of newbies too.

I've been doing an all compound movement routine due to my current time constraints and lets face it anything that is core dedicated is especially appreciated going in to the over eating holidays! Personal favorites are planks, suspended crunches, and pikes.

 All the exercise ideas suggested are great ,  do it in peripheral heart action protocol .

I would like to see a challenge that can be built on. More of a lifestyle change rather than just one exercise i am trying to do.

Suspended Oblique Crunch Challenge

2 crunches (side to side)

10 sec rest

4 crunches

10 sec rest

6 crunches

10 sec rest

8 crunches

10 sec rest

This continues, increasing by 2 crunches side to side until you can't do anymore........ouch!

 I believe that for this challenge we should get back to the basics.  The movements that inspired us to contiue to use the TRX and the one's we always come back to.  Nothing fancy, why not utilizing ISO-metric holds incoporated into the movement itself?

Atomich Push-ups

Squats

Rows

Bi's, Tri's

Leg Curls

Just a few examples.  I hope this helps but I look forward to the challenge none the less.

Take care,
PAS

Ok, we have the challenge up!  Take a look, try it out, and see how well you do!

Like the muscle-up modification from single leg squat, good way to progress into the full expression.
