Improved Connective Tissue Integrity, and Superior Metabolic Flexibility
TRX Suspension Training
TRX Suspension Training is a form of bodyweight resistance training that uses suspension straps to develop strength, balance, flexibility, and core stability simultaneously. It was originally developed by Randy Hetrick, a former Navy SEAL, as a portable, efficient workout system for use in limited spaces.
🟨 Core Features of TRX:
- Uses gravity + your body weight for resistance
- You adjust intensity by changing your angle to the ground
- Activates core muscles constantly, even during basic moves
- Portable, lightweight, and easy to anchor (door, tree, rack, etc.)
🔩 Key Components:
- TRX Straps with handles & foot cradles
- Anchoring System (door mount, ceiling hook, beam)
🔥 Benefits:
| Benefit | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Core activation | Nearly every TRX move forces you to engage your core |
| Functional strength | Builds real-world movement strength (push, pull, squat, rotate) |
| Balance and coordination | Instability of straps improves neuromuscular control |
| Scalable | Ideal for beginners to elite athletes |
| Low joint impact | Safer for aging or recovering athletes |
🏋️♂️ Common TRX Exercises:
- TRX Rows – Upper back & arms
- TRX Chest Press – Chest, shoulders
- TRX Plank to Pike – Core and hip flexors
- TRX Single-Leg Squat – Legs and balance
- TRX Atomic Push-Up – Chest + core explosion
⚔️ Why It Might Fit EPL/“Warrior” Training Philosophy:
TRX emphasizes:
- Personal responsibility in movement (you control the angle = control your intensity)
- Adaptive training (as you evolve, so does your strength expression)
- Centralized core strength (like your EPL focus on the inner principle governing the body-field)
Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell (1904–1987) was an American professor of literature, mythologist, and writer best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His most influential idea is the concept of the “monomyth”, or the Hero’s Journey, a universal narrative pattern he explored in his seminal book:
📘 The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949)
In this book, Campbell outlined a typical path that heroic characters follow across many myths, legends, and stories from different cultures. This journey involves:
- Departure – The hero leaves the known world.
- Initiation – The hero faces trials, receives aid, and transforms.
- Return – The hero comes back changed, often bearing a gift or new knowledge.
He famously summarized this philosophy as:
“Follow your bliss.”
This idea encourages people to pursue what deeply inspires them, suggesting that doing so aligns them with the deeper structures of the universe (as represented in myth).
📚 Other Key Works:
- The Power of Myth (1988, with Bill Moyers) – A televised series and book-length interview that made his ideas popular with mainstream audiences.
- The Masks of God (4-volume series) – Explores mythology across different cultures and epochs.
- Myths to Live By (1972) – Essays on how ancient myths apply to modern life.
🔥 Influence:
Campbell’s work shaped:
- George Lucas’s Star Wars saga (Lucas credited Campbell’s Hero’s Journey as a key influence).
- Psychology (especially Jungian concepts).
- Spiritual and personal development movements.
- Comparative religion and literature studies.
