The Consequences of Fitness

[Phaedrus49er]

Here is the TRX. Basically, you're doing push-ups with your hands on suspended rings of some sort hung close to the ground (feet can be on the ground or elevated), which makes stability a total bitch. You can do the same with (I'm guessing) stretch bands or with Elite rings (I have a pair of these).

Get in plenty of wall squats and prying to get your hips mobile.

And I think it's time you pick up a KB. That last workout would be so much more enjoyable - but all in good time.

Sorry to veer off-topic (but this place seems to ALWAYS go off topic!). I know wall squats but what is prying?

Ben beat me too it. Hi.

Prying is when you wedge, force, stretch yourself into the squat position that you really want to be in. You grab a wall or do it in a doorway or something. It's not exactly pleasant, but it has helped in the past. I think I need to so even more!

Ahhhhh...nice!! I think what I found initially were the TRX Atomic Push Ups, they look equally painful...but interesting. I actually wish they had something like those rings at our gym...I'm thinking there's nowhere in our apt to put them really. It looks like something I'd be curious to try! Thanks for the info!!!

Great job working on pistols. I've been thinking about them after having glanced through "The Naked Warrior" from the library. Keep up the good job. The outdoor workouts look like fun too. And, it's all about fun -- right?
