    Can different variations of suspension exercises provide adequate loads and muscle activations for upper body training?
  • Performed with different handgrip types. Starting position involves holding the handles with a grip, engaging back muscles. Range of motion involves pulling the body up towards the handles, then lowering back down. Tempo is controlled using a metronome in most studies.
