I typically do a TRX exercise and superset it with a bodyweight exercise. I have even written a pretty fun TRX circuit, too. Thats a post for another day.
Technique Booster # 2 The 1-1/2 Rep Method This one is horrid. Lets skip it. No? You want to know that bad, huh?
(This is the conversation Im having with myself at this very moment). Alright, enough. The 1-1/2 rep method is challenging because it produces more volume with the same amount of reps. Lets take a look at one. The Bulgarian Squat (yuck, I know). When using the 1-1/2 rep method, you would go all the way down into a Bulgarian Squat, come halfway back up, then go all the way down, and finally, all the way back up. That is one. stinking. rep. So, if you use a program that calls for (8) 1-1/2 reps, its more difficult than you think. Try those with Bulgarian Squats and for kicks and giggles, try it with chin-ups. Thats good times.
Warning your max reps for any given exercise will be drastically reduced when using this method. You will feel defeated, yet victorious all at the same time. Embrace that its cool. You can also play with this method with squats, pull-ups and other moves. My favorite exercise to do this method with is pushups though. Lets do a circuit using all this chaos, shall we?
If you have a chinup bar available, you can plug in chinups after the Bulgarian Squats. If youre feeling really crazy, you could do the 1-1/2 rep method for those as well aim for 6. Another way to use your back is to do inverted rows (this is also a good substitute for chinups if youre not quite ready for those yet).
