I did start them after my 1st round of STS because I was so much stronger/lighter after that. But I went on to work with pilates equipment and can definitely say that these type of workouts will also prep you for these TRX moves. In fact I use the double TRX workouts to offset the fact that I no longer have access to a cadillac (I have a reformer/tower combo that will let me get most of the moves).
Having said all that, weight is a huge part of it for me. If I gain even 5lbs, push ups and double ups get substantially harder (if not impossible). I lost 15-20lbs doing STS and I'm sure now that was a big part of getting a better push-up/pull-up etc count. Hard to believe that such a small amt of weight can make a difference but then you think about using micro weights/weight plates during heavy lifting. At some point, you just hit a wall or tipping point when you can't press out another ounce.

I wonder if the clip issue on the JG is on fakes on Amazon. I’m seriously afraid to make a purchase like that on Amazon.
So I’m completely confused on which to get. Knowing what you know now, which would you get? I’m leaning towards rip 60 because it’s cheaper and has the dvds. But realistically, I probably won’t do the dvds. Just use them for exercise ideas. |

The Rip60 has also been great. It might be an excellent starter set for you and if you want to graduate to a more expensive TRX later, they have good Black Friday sales. Honestly, if you are leaning toward Rip60, it's an affordable choice and you'll likely enjoy it
