Trx - anyone use it?

So decided to try lose some of the lard and got a personal trainer back in August. Last couple of months he's been bringing along his trx (basically an extendable/shortenable set of straps with handles that you hang from a point) to the gym.

You can work almost any muscle group (all weight resistance based by how your stance is), now I kinda like it as it packs up to about the size of a grapefruit and you can hang it from anything e.g. a tree branch so get a workout almost anywhere. The negatives I see are you can't exactly repeat the weight, you might know you're going up/improving, isolating the muscle groups you're aiming for needs to be done with quite precise movements.

Anyway, just curious if anyone else has used this/has any thoughts?

Yes I use it. I have the straps about a foot off the floor and put my feet through them. Then I do a push up and bring my knees into my chest, whilst twisting to one side and then repeat on the other side, great for the abbs.

Loads of different exercises you can do, instructional did or online will show you an exercise for as far as I can see pretty much anything. Mainly using it with hands for triceps and back.

I usually use them after a weight session to focus on my core.

There are a few videos on youtube, one I have followed is this one

The guy is a total tool like, but the TRX workouts work
