In suspense?

I am addicted to bodyweight training and I have a real desire to prove to other that your bodyweight is plenty of resistance to get very strong indeed. I remember either reading or hearing an interview with Alwyn Cosgrove who said something like:

If you can't do pistol squats then you have no business to start adding resistance.

I also remember him saying that you really need to be able to stabilise your load to create functional strength. Bodyweight training is a great way to do this.

So after years and years of very basic bodyweight exercises, and the explosion of video sharing on the internet, I found BodyWeightCultre and they (and ElasticSteel) show the USA being used to what seems great effect. So I did a little research and found also the TRX which seems well designed also but really quite expensive. A little more research found me something that looks like it will do all I need it to do just now and a fraction of the costs, it is the Flex Straps - less than £25 to my door, should arrive sometime next week. I will be able to do away with my belts and use handles instead of wrapping the belt round my fists.
