Trx instead of rings.

Hello there, just started the foundation course and I am loving it! I have a question regarding upper body training. For the moment I don't have rings or a place where I could potentially anchor them so I started the program doing the incline rows with a trx anchored on a door. I suppose is not the same but it is the only option I have for now. My question is which modification regarding body position should I do in order to do the incline rows properly? (or is it not possible?)

Hi @Adrian Garcia Mendez,

Based from my experience, I have used Jungle Gym Suspension Trainer before when I have no access to Rings. Initially you can you use that but you need to get Rings asap since the two are worlds apart in terms of difficulty level. 

That setup should be fine Adrian. Post a video if you're in doubt.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the post and replies.

I have neither of these (TRX or rings) - is there a good alternative until I get some rings?

Also, I'm UK based an workout at home - can anyone recommend a good (and affordable) ring set for home please?

Thank you Everett and Leo, I'll post a video or picture if I have any problems, I'll also keep trying to find a space for the rings.

hi Marcus, unfortunately an horizontal grip it is needed for the beginning of foudations 1. a rope with 2 handles can be a substitution.

I'm only 6 weeks in to F1 and have been using TRX with the door strap for the rows, I've just purchased rings and have done the first workout with them.  I definitely felt a difference in emphasis with the slightly different motion, it felt much more upper back so I'm going to try to use them as much as possible.  I travel for a living and it's not always possible to find a place to hang rings, so the TRX scores for versatility.  I'm in the UK too and here's a link to the ring set I bought.  They seem solid to me but bear in mind I'm a total beginner!

No worries - I will purchase some rings!
