I bought a suspension trainer, can doing assisted hand stand push ups help me build up to free hand stands because this one exercise I want to accomplish

[fitnesstrainingbyjon]

@zuevaxcy23 rings would clearly be best for cross/lever/handstand training and probably the solution you would be most happy with. others who are not as fit might find the trx most useful.

[zuevaxcy23]

Which is better-gymnastic rings or perfect push ups or TRX?

[fitnesstrainingbyjon]

@zuevaxcy23 all are good and have their place... but if I had to choose one, definitely the TRX. It has the most versatility.

[zuevaxcy23]

@fitnesstrainingbyjon Yes but can't the rings do all the functions of the TRX and is cheaper??? 0.o

[fitnesstrainingbyjon]

@zuevaxcy23 no foot straps on the rings... at least the ones that i've seen. I think it is a useful function to have the straps for lunges, pushups, ect... no doubt the Rings will do some of the things the TRX will do, but not everything. If $ is the main concern, go with the rings first then...

[zuevaxcy23]

@fitnesstrainingbyjon So you can do a handstand, maybe even a front/back lever or planche on the TRX?

Money is not an issue btw.

Do you think training on an iron cross on the TRX would be a good idea?

ive just managed to do a few of these :D (i could already handstand) am i right in saying the whole balancing side of it also tones your back ect due to the fine ajustments you balance with?

[fitnesstrainingbyjon]

@oliz2freeruning2pk yes! It does work you back and shoulders quite a bit!

does it really take years to be able to free handstand pushups? Please tell me it doesn't lol. I practice like three hours a day and I can do one free handstand pushup, it took me about 4 months... Do you think progress will come faster now that I can do one?

[fitnesstrainingbyjon]

@ColtonCM if you are already doing one without any help, you are ahead of the game! Good job, keep it up! Progress will absolutely come faster now that you can do one. Good luck!
