Suspension Training is a very mystical realm of training. The whole point of the Shredded Shaman is quite literally to demystify much of the concepts, ideas, and trends within the world of fitness by bringing it back to the old school roots of Physical Culture. So, a piece on the fundamentals and nuances of suspension training is long overdue. To be fair, it’s not that mystical of a training implement or method. But it is considerably specialized and this needs to be kept in mind when creating and curating content on the matter. Pretty much, if you’re not on the TRX website or some affiliate, you won’t get very nuanced and detailed content on suspension training. Not to the level that you should be. On the other hand, there’s a bunch of workouts out there that feature the suspension trainer as the main implement, yet do not treat it with the same respect – providing at least a very basic education and exposition – as they do other implements and training methods such as kettlebells or even gymnastic rings. This piece is intended to provide you with all you need to begin to make sense of suspension training and begin to make the most of your suspension trainer, itself.

This piece is the first in a long series of articles I will be putting together on the essentials of contemporary physical culture. Contemporary Physical Culture is, in contrast to Old School Physical Culture, simply a modern approach to those ancestral insights. After all, the pioneers of what is basically summed up as the precursor to our current day industry lived over a century ago. And we’ve learned so much since they’ve laid what is in understated and tremendous foundation. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants. And now we have myriad tools at our disposal to further expand on that legacy. The one that will be the focus of this article is Elastic Resistance and, by extension, Variable Resistance Training.
