trx straps

does any one use these instead of weights for certain exercises? can they build muscle ? does anyone have any experience or knowledge of usung them

I love suspension training. I think its vital to building a solid core. The straps I use are called Vegas Pro Straps. They are different from TRX because they are 2 independent straps rather than one strap that splits into 2. To me that is important. Having 2 separate straps makes it more versatile and more natural feeling IMO. Doing dips on the straps is my favorite exercise. There's a lot you can do with them. Like I said, the straps have been a great addition for me.

what have you noticed snce using them ? strength or size ???

You don't have the stabilization with straps that you have with barbells, dumbells, n machines. So all of the little stabilizing muscles get stronger and you will notice greater muscle development overall. As your core strength increases you will notice all of your lifts will go up. Obviously size is in direct proportion to your caloric intake. But the strength and muscle development is undeniable.

I use them for accessory work. Triceps extensions, curls, rows, face-pulls, flies - they're great for all of them
