You have most likely already seen Palloff presses, rollouts, landmines, ect. But what if you don’t have a cable station or just want something a bit more challenging? Here is something I partly stole from Mike Boyle when he was talking on the Strength Coach Podcast. All you need is a band and a sturdy pole.

Yeah, I get it, you have to drive 30 minutes each way to the facility you train at. Then there is bad weather, holidays when it is closed, and the desire to spend more time with your family (or dog). And yes, I do know, because these last 18 months I have driven 30-60 minutes each way to train at Cressey Performance or recently to when I was working. That is sometimes 10+ hours spent in the car per week not accounting for traffic/weather. These are the reasons that I am writing this blog. To show you my setup at my house that saves me time and money without sacrificing a great training effect.

The location: my garage (aka, my parent’s garage since I live with them…give me a break I am 23 and have car payments…)

The Equipment:

  • TRX Suspension Trainer ($149 from Fitness Anywhere)
  • 4 First Place Kettelbells from Perform Better’s summer sale (8kg, 16kg, 20kg, 24kg) and a KB buddy (adds 2kg extra weight)
  • Valslides (roughly $30 at Perform Better)
  • Minibands in 1/2 inch and 1 inch thicknesses.
  • Ab roller ($10 on Amazon)
  • 12lb TKO Medball ($36 from Amazon)
  • iPod nano with some Rise Against on it (and Paramore, got a problem with that?)

Here is a video of the setup.

This is also up at The FitCast Insider as a High Quality Download. I was able to clock this round in at 1:15, my best time yet.

Keep in mind, my form is NOT PERFECT in this video. It suffered towards the end as this was the 4th set.

Here is the list of movements, do 10 reps for each.

These are not the official names:

  • Right Chest Pass
  • Left Chest Pass
  • Center Chest Pass
  • Between Legs
  • Low Left
  • Low Right
