Pro Tip: You can use socks or hand towels to create the same twisting effect with the rings that you get with the TRX. (Just place them over the rings and use them as place holders; less grip but you get the desired effect).

wojtekimbier You can do one legged squats/pistol squats. Those are a lot harder than weighted squats, and trust me, I have tried both. I can squat about 250 pounds but can barely do a pistol squat. It requires better balance, better joints, and a lot of time and patience to master. As for deadlifts, you really dont even need a barbell. With calisthenics, you could do that with a pull up bar UPSIDE DOWN and that would mean more stabilization, balance, and strength.

@wojtekimbier

1) What you describe as upside-down deadlift is just a type of pullup. You think it will work your lower body? You need barbell deadlifts for that. 2) I can do 10 full pistol squats no problem. They don't build strength, just balance and flexibility. I squat 68kg. You need barbell squats to "train whole body", not just rings and bodyweight.

JWALNATION I squat twice my bodyweight (about 145 kg) and deadlift almost 3 times my bodyweight and I've been lifting for 1.5 years only and still a teenager. When I'm 25 I'll be able to do 1000 pistol squats everyday probably. Legs are just too strong for calisthenics. I don't see the NEED for a barbell though, lifting huge stones, logs etc will do the job but there's a reason calisthenics guys lack lower body strength.

Rings for sure. Many more exercises possible and simple is always best. It's easy enough to make a cradle for your feet with bits of climbing rope if you want to do TRX style crunches. I have metal rings that I use at home which are completely indestructible but a bit heavy and composite ones for travel which are light and will probably also last forever. TRX is way way too much money for limited functionality. Just my opinion.

Wow! Thanks for covering all the angles on both of them. Very thorough.

Neat trick. If you want rotating handles for your rings and have enough leftover rope from the straps you can just wrap them around the rings and they rotate. It makes curls a lot more comfortable

Why not both? You can fashion your own TRX Handles with some tubular webbing and pvc and attach them to the bottom of your rings-just as compact, and gives you two tools from one. For each handle, make 2 straps with the webbing-one long, and one short. Size depends on the user & how far down you want the TRX handles to be from your rings-experiment and figure out what works best for you. Pass one end of each strap through the piece of PVC, then tie each into it's own loop using a water knot. Pass the knots back into the pvc to hold them in place. Then, using the longer loop of webbing, secure it to your ring using a girth hitch.

This cleared up all my confusion and gave me an idea as to what I should get and even more TRX exorcises I can do too.

Those intermediate and advanced ring exercises take some strength and coordination. Nice dedication

Great video as usual, very informative and you raised a few points I had never considered :)

Hi, I very like your videos. What I will tell has nothing to do with those two but as a beginner progressing to intermediate, I personally love working with bands over dumbell or similar. It gives ease at possible movement and lets you have a taste before you can imagine to do the full movement. They load progressively and very friendly to joints as well. 3 months beforehand I thougth they were only for women doing pilates at home but finding them very useful in streght training was an enlighning moment for me.

2:10 I just purchased the PEFXT "knock off" for $40 and they are very high quality. You can also suspend them independently like rings, or use the extension strap which creates a "Y" junction. When using the extension, they don't slide as seen around 1:08 and 4:54

My trx straps are knock offs for about 30$ and I think they are better than the original, because they are two separate straps. No worries doing asymmetric exercises.

Thanks for the effort on this video. Great stuff. I got myself some rings and was wondering if I should have considered the TRX as well. Rings way better! Cheers.

Great comparison, thank you. I just purchased some rings.

Nice piece.. decent.. useful.. precise explanation

Awesome video. I have a trx but looking into rings as I want to progress with bodyweight training. I will still keep using the trx for core exercises though but I feel the rings are less bulky and have less in the way of your arms when doing pushups etc when the straps are by your arms.

The anchor point in my suspension system isn't high enough for me to use for push-ups (I end up pushing into strap) I have to just put my feet in them and do decline push ups instead.

You missed on pointing out the advantage of being able to set up the TRX at home using the door strap attachment. Convenient when you're traveling or when it's cold outside and you don't want to spend money on a gym membership. Also there are advanced techniques using the TRX.

Both are great but disappointed how the aspect of strength imbalance wasn't mentioned with regards to TRX. If one side pushes/pulls harder it'll be uneven and it's great for correcting imbalances.

The one unforgivable feature of TRX bands for me is the buckle being so low: Perhaps I was doing them wrong due to being used to rings, but I tried doing push ups with the TRX band and I couldn't get the buckle to stop rubbing against my arms. They were bright red and it hurt like hell.

TRX now has a Duo Trainer which seems more similar to rings. I would like to know what you think of it.

Suspension training is the best for the body to gain strength and take your body to the next level. and this depends on the comfort of who or how you want your goals with respect to the one you use (trx or rings). I have purchased both and they are excellent training tools.

My favorite out of these two. And many of us are surely Rings. They cost less and are built like a beast and functions like a monster. They are great for a full upper body workout.

Great video.
