on the internet.

- Strong like bull!
- Strong and bold!
Okay, today we're gonna talk about a suspension training
you can do at home for way less money
and we're gonna show you ten exercise examples.
- Ten.
- Yeah.
So there's a lot of devices out there
for doing suspension training.
- And you're gonna see the examples of how we use it.
Brad and I have started using this
in our individual workouts.
- Right.
- Really have liked, it's been a great addition.
- Exactly.
- And substitution in some cases.
- Sure.
- For our exercises.
- But.
- But they can be very expensive.
- But what about--

go to www.bobandbrad.com,
go to the giveaway section.
We're giving a way an LT1, I believe, free stepper.
It's a recumbent type of elliptical.
- Right. - Really nice it's worth like
seven hundred and some dollars.
- Right.
- Well made quiet, whisper quiet,
you couldn't hear that thing.
- You can watch TV on low volume.
- And you can talk to your spouse
if that's what you wanna do.
- Well yeah, yeah.
- Okay don't say it.
All right, you can also go to Facebook,
and the contest that will be pinned at the top of page.
Go to Twitter, Instagram or TikTok,
if you want a 60-second version of our program.
So where are we Brad?
So we're talking about,
there's a lot of products out there like this.
Most of them, I think almost all of them are more expensive,
but the thing we like about Flige,
F-L-I-G-E,
really high quality products.
- It is.
- They do not spare anything,
they don't cut corners.
- Right.
My language from where I used,
I would say they're industrial duty, they are,
they're not--
- Commercial. - Commercial, exactly right.
- So show how well this adjusts Brad,
'cause this is really key when you use in suspension
is that it has to be well-adjust easy.
- Exactly. - And safe.
- So the guide numbers are on here
and you simply push the button,
it's got a real nice friction lock
with its knurled in there, all in steel, it's very nice,
and you can adjust so you're even on both sides
if we go to eight here,
you simply go over to here, drop this one down to eight.
Do your exercise, bring it back up.
Well you wanna go back up to one Bob?
- Yeah, yeah okay.
- There we go.
They even put the nice little elastic strap.
I know to keep things nice and neat and tidy.
- 'Cause I've seen some
that look like they have just plastic on there
and I'm sure they work fine,
but this is not gonna go anywhere.
I mean, and this is rated for 400 pounds.
Now, put it up there,
there's a lot of different ways to do it.
Like today, we actually just took the two straps
and put it through a bar, or put them around a bar.
But there's a device that you can use
to put it up in a doorway.
- Right.
- And close the doorway on it.
- There's this device where we're gonna show,
at the end of the video.
- Right.
- and we're gonna show how this could be used.
- If you've got, if you've got some framework
at your house like a squat bench or something like that,
you can use that, you can use a truss in your basement,
depending on your ceiling type, so.
- Yeah, there's different options on how to do it,
because you wanna make sure it's steady.
'Cause like, this can hold 400 pounds,
but if the device you're putting it to
doesn't hold 400 pounds, you're in trouble.
So, the price of this, by the way Brad,
from what I see right now it's about 70 dollars,
but they had a 20% coupon too.
- No.
- I can't guarantee that's gonna be there
when this video comes up, 'cause I don't,
you know what they change their prices all the time.
Other ones that were about twice the cost of this.
- So, it's really a great bargain
if you think you wanna try a suspension training.
- Right.
- But you don't wanna spend too much money
to start off with.
- So let's show Brad,
I'm gonna show the first exercise.
- Oh, absolutely.
- By the way, they include four exercise bands with it.
- Loops, yeah, loop bands.
Which is really nice for a hip and workout.
- So, really hard to do it actually pull-ups at home
for a lot of people, you heard my knees crack Brad?
- No, what are you gonna do, take a nap?
- Yeah, no you just start
in a kind of a seated position here.
And now what's nice about this,
I can do some pull-ups like this.
Now, it's not full weight pull-ups
But it's great for someone
who hasn't been doing pull-ups.
- He can work into 'em,
but even if you do 'em, that you can do a lot more
and you can just, it's just another way to train.
- So, it's a modified pull-up.
- And one thing you're gonna find out
with doing all of these exercises, suspension training,
you're really working your core.
- Right.
- That's the key beauty is to this.
- I really enjoy that when you get that core workout,
you don't have to do it later,
you're getting all at once.
- It is functional, it's gonna cross over to daily life.
- Yeah, I just found it to be fun.
- You want me to do something?
- Yeah, I want you to do a couple, the Pec Fly.
- Oh yeah.
- And you're doing triceps too, right?
- Yeap.
- This is the way I really like doing my triceps.
Now, actually this would be a beginner tricep,
'cause it's not too hard.
- Yeah if you wanted it harder, you'd make it longer
and you'd go further down.
- Are we gonna show them that now or later?
- If you wanna, you can show 'em.
- Yeah, because it really made
what number do you wanna go to?
- Bring it down to seven.
it's nice and people can see how easily--
- See how easy that was?
- So if you bring your feet out it's easier
as you bring your feet closer to the wall
it's harder I'm gonna tighten up my core
keep my elbows straight and
I think I could have went lower,
I think I could have went to it
Once I get to 10.
yeah
And then from here,
we do flies
and another one I do like to do from especially
from my other shoulder
is I come over this way
and this is more of a range of motion not a big stretch
but it really stretches your PEC major
and your PEC minor and you're getting then you can work this
so you get range of motion strengthening exercises
that's just a little additional one
- Or since four has the lengthened position here Brad
let's go down even a little bit further
let's go down to nine
and I'm gonna go down on the floor
I'mma do inverted rows
- I do this one too Bob
I like this around
you don't
I do too
- I'll show no I know
- what you do
- look at that he's got really nice form you're straight
like a two by four
- I could usually do about ten of these
and then I rest and do a few more cuz I get fatigued
- yeah
- so but you're really working your back to it
you're working the upper upper trap
- boy I notice it right in here on those no Tiffany
- now you do biceps this way
- Oh exactly
- why don't you do biceps
I have a I want to show people
this I don't recommend people do this
but I like to do this I like to slide down there
- of course you do
makes it fun. I do these and then I walk up
and then I do my biceps it really works the core
and those biceps
you want to just get it close up of that bicep
I want to show off there
oh I'm just kidding I drop all these
- in that position Brad can you do what high roll
high high rolls
like that yeah like that yeah
and again you could adjust
- the resist is easier by just standing up straighter
- yeah or foot position too -
and if you go wide it's a little different as well
so the lots of modifications that you can do
I like this I don't do this one yet Bob I'm gonna add it
really good for this inner scapular
- yeah this one oh I haven't done that one myself
now I'm gonna see if I can do this Brad
because I set up for me
I'm gonna put my feet in there yeah
why do you do this one at all
- no I've tried it but I haven't incorporated of my daily
- so I knew push-ups like this I get all the way in
like that and then I do push-ups tone like that
- now they've done Studies on this suspension training
and they've on core activation muscle activation
and they've you know proven it it makes sense
and they offer proven how much core
you're saying a little bit Bob
- well then what I do Brad in between I do these
these start burning your core
I want to burn the abdomen
you do some of these and then you go back to these again
- tell me what Bob they look kind of goofy though
- do they
- well I don't know
what's in any
- go like this
- oh nice
- and you smart like this
- and the these are goofy
- well I don't know is is a person
I saw Barbies walk work doing these
Albert was doing these these
- yeah but he doesn't look goofy no
- so that gives you some examples
there's many more you can do
- yeah
- I'm tired ah
okay we made the promise Brad
we forgot we did the ending
and we should have done this first
we're gonna show you this little adaption device
you can actually it makes it longer right
so in this case we actually have the pipe going
through the loop here
you can take this and let's say
let's say you have a 2x4
I'm gonna put this through here
and let's say the two-by-four the branch is right here
- yeah
I could go right around that and hold it
- so you're cinching it
- yeah I'm cinching it in place
- yeah no you wouldn't want to go less than a 2x4
a 2x4 better be a good health
- Yeah
- down a 2x6 would be better
and then you go down to the
well we've got the adapter clip here
and these are really nice these
are Oh heavy-duty I'll be doing you come rattle again
you just tighten it up there so it locks in very strong
and very safe
and so you can see
and again this could all attached to the door
- Right
- Also there's a door adapter
- For sure
you see it makes it quite long
works out well especially if you have a higher ceiling
- Ceiling right
replace it adapt it up there
- So very good
yeah we want it to be complete
- so remember Brad and I can fix this about here
- except for a broken heart.
- And these are not gonna do anything for that.
- No they're not gonna help.
- But they're gonna get the core strong.
Yeah you're tired that's good
- Thanks for watching.
