The Strong++™ is a tubing and pulley system that accommodates multi-planar resistance training. It consists of three different tubes, each with a different level of resistance, that can be connected with carabiners to accommodate over seven resistance levels, making it a highly scalable training tool that is appropriate for beginners and conditioned athletes alike. This workout consists of a functional training experience with external load resistance provided by Strong++ and tips to help you move well through your Queenax training zone.

Equipment Needs

• Queenax™
• Strong++ 

Workout Guidelines

Strong++ provides the exerciser with over seven resistance level options. Select the appropriate resistance level for each movement in this ciruit depending upon your ability level and training goals. Prior to beginning this circuit, include a 5-10 minute warmup that includes dynamic bodyweight movements such as squats, arm circles or marching. 

Zone Management Tips

• Identify a training space that has a fairly large footprint, allowing for lateral movement as well as forward momentum based exercises. 
• When selecting your training space, look for obstacles that may be present within your zone prior to beginning your circuit and clear the area. 
• Go through a few slow reps of each movement prior to beginning to check your ability to move well through space without entering another training zone or coming across obstacles that might interrupt your movement.
• Once the area is clear and you have determined you can move fully through your range of motion with each exericese, you are ready to begin.
