Weirder has their own version with a handle bar I bought mine a few years ago under $200 does exactly the same thing with the added bonus of the handle bar and you can adjust the resistance

I'm 71 still use the TG 3-4 times/ week. Still feel pretty fit. Thanks for the great exercises.

Just picked up a TG Fit for $200. With all the exercises available on this machine it can get a little overwhelming. You break this down to make it doable and still have fun. Thanks Mike for the motivation. Keep the videos coming.

Dude how did you get a TG FIT for 200 dollars, that's great. I've had about 3 total gym and all of them were free. It's kind of disappointing that no one understands the great value these machines hold. I would really really love a TG Fit. Rock on man

As usual you said it best, A push a pull and a lower body compound movement and you're covered. The HIT guys swear by this theory.

Have the FIT arriving tomorrow. At 66, looking forward to digging in. I've lost 20 lbs w/ no exercise-- 240 down to 220 -- standby when I get the sled! I'm on a roll and loving it!! BTW, love "Our Lady" grotto in the background! O Marie concue sans peche priez pour nous qui avons recours a vous

Love hearing that! Keep me posted on how it goes. I believe you're the first person who's acknowledged that. She's helped me greatly. Dominus Vobiscum!

Good stuff. Thats the great thing about the TG- freedom of movement. About what you said about vertical pressing- of you press up while doing the chest press that will work the shoulders more and the chest less.

I had one of these 30 years ago and sold it 10 years ago biggest regret of my life, just bought a second hand one again and I’m soooo excited to get going again 👍

I like putting dip bars at the top of the glide board for pull ups. So much difference from a traditional pull up just by the way you have to position your hands/wrists.

I had a total gym years ago. The cat chewed up the bench really bad. Also the cables had worn out. I gave it to a friend, and it was really in such bad shape, we threw it out. Now I’m so busy during the week, I don’t have time to go to the gym. Just ordered a new, updated Total Gym. I can’t wait until it gets here.

Awesome to hear!

Great advice keeps exercising manageable. Likewise, think to myself "there are five major muscle groups to to choose from...chest, back, arms, legs, shoulders" for circuit planning. Perhaps "push/pull/legs" perspective. The TG is excellent for arms and back maybe the TUT with higher reps. The pullover is amazing best back exercise period for mind/muscle connection. Also, the stretch with rows is wonderful compared to any other machine. Chest can be good if no lockout/pause keeping the motion in a fly/arc under constant tension. Eliminating rest or pause during the set is crucial. Lets not forget about rear delts/rhomboids too. So much...great machine.

You have your total gym outside, do you leave it out? Do you cover it with a tarp or anything when not using it? I’m concerned with rust eventually, but would love to get it out of my bed room so I have more floor space to VR box and whatever else.

I'm 64 totally agree, I use on alternate days with Pilates

For everyone who has a Total Gym, when you do the exercises, for example biceps curls, go down slowly for a count of 3 seconds, shoulder press also down for 3 seconds. Do this with all exercises. Don't do it too quickly, let you muscles do the work. Go from light to heavy, make sets of 5x10 reps per muscle group (so for each exercise). And then go lighter again, 5x10 reps, rest for 30 seconds between exercises. I also train this way, you will see results in 3 weeks, I promise.

Hello Mike. Here's my situation. 61 y/o male, recently shattered my left elbow. I needed a total reconstruction of elbow with titanium hardware. Before that, I used the Total Gym every other day. Working on arms and chest. What do you recommend to do on TG as part as rehab to continue to build muscle? Thanks

@hybridresistance

Жыл бұрын

Hi Vincent. As far as what I would do if I were you, I'd stick to my normal plan (upper / lower split) choosing exercises that don't bother my elbow ( or cause pain). I know that's simplistic, but I wouldn't overly complicate it.
