Via NSCA.com & Author Mark D. StephensonNow a new method of training called suspension training can be used for those facing a lack of proper training facilities. Suspension training was re-introduced as a method of training by former navy SEAL Randy Hetrick who was responsible for the physical fitness of his team members. Deployed soldiers do not necessarily have weight training facilities and often have to resort to implement training for resistance. Looking for ways to maintain his and his team’s operational readiness, Randy utilized parachute cords and materials thathe looped over elevated beams to increase resistance for rows and presses using only body weight and gravity, thus suspension training was born.
