Clark Bartram: Push Up Circuit

I'll have them shipped to you if you still want them. I'm not sure I saw this entry.

Hi I live in Perth Western Australia and I was wondering how do I get a set of the Vegas Pro workout straps ?
I contacted the company and they say that they do not ship to Australia ?

WTF is going on with that I thought you could get them anywhere in the world ?

I am a personal trainer and would like to see them used here but not possible. I will have to go to one of the other systems either rings or somthing ?

Can anyone assist as I would like a set or the Vegas Pro straps ?

Thanks

..Spent a whole hour last on the VEAGS pro and I tell you what !!! thinking Im Mister JAMCORE ..yeah right!!! that thing kicked my ass ..Now Clark you pissed me off I'm getting obsessed with this thing , look forward to some great workout coming from me using it .

Clark, great video! I got all revved up after watching it and went down to my basement and did a chest workout on my VEGAS PRO Straps. It felt good to be back on them. I fractured my wrist playing soccer a few months ago so I had to heal for a bit. I will say I am a little sore, but not my wrist. Chest, triceps and shoulders are tenderized and of course my core.
Can you show us a video of how we can do exercises at an easier level for either beginners or as a burnout set?

You are right, you do recruit the stabilizer muscles, that is the whole point behind "motion training" with the Vegas Pro System. As far as hitting mostly lats...if my hands went forward about 2 more inches, that would be correct. But since I am very aware of my body and positioning to hit the "sweet spot" I was actually hitting the upper chest as if doing an incline press. It sounds as if you have that "body awareness" as well, so I think you know what I'm talking about. BTW, you cannot do this movement, in my opinion,(and many more) effectively with the TRX System due to the fact they have a "vector point" as they refer to it. The straps come out at an angle, from one point in the midle above your head, limiting you the ability to get your body, comfortably, between the straps without rubbing your shoulders raw. The VEGAS PRO System has two seperate points in which the straps hang individually allowing your body to easily get in between. You couldn't do dips like I did a few videos ago, nor could you, easily, do this routine with TRX. I'm not bashing their system, I'm simply suggesting that the VEGAS PRO is a much better overall design...and yes, I was struggling after 3 reps of each!! :)

I love the energy, but I have a question.

Wouldn't the "incline" pushup end up recruiting the lats as a stabilizer (to a great extent), thus reducing the effort on the pects? I figure on the VEGAS bands or the TRX bands, you're going to need to elevate your feet and keep your hands low to target the upper chest muscles and ant. delts.

..Funny Bro ..I love the bit when you had to tell us about your daughter filming and fixing her hair . Great exercise I have been experimenting with the VEGAS PRO that Clark got me (thank you bro ) its amazing look forward to see me using it in some workouts in the future

i've never seen inclined and peck-fly(?) push-up before. that is so cool!

You can see how much Clark was struggling just after doing 3 of each. And thats not saying anything against his strength, power, or endurance, that just goes to show how intense these exercises can be when you perform them right!!
