Suspension Revolution with Dan Long

In January, I was in Tampa Bay, Florida and I got a chance to experience the Dan Long Suspension Revolution.
Let me show you one of the exercises he got us to do:

Let me provide you with a little of a back story to the above video.
I was in Tampa Bay, at a fitness professional event put on by Joel Marion & Josh Bezoni of Biotrust Nutrition. There was about 100 fitness professionals from around the world. One of the events that was organized by Joel was a workout at the famous Powerhouse Gym in Tampa Bay.
The gym is full of a “who’s who” of people that train there. Numerous professional athletes, fitness models and bodybuilders.
One of the guys that workouts out of there is Ben “Pacman” Pakulski:

It was very cool to saying “hi” to Ben at the gym and chatting with him after his workout. He is a good Canadian Kid plus full of fitness knowledge that is based in science (I like that).
Okay back to the workout at Pumphouse.
Dan and his head trainer, Forbes, took a group of us through a Kill Mode training session.

Forbes had us in the turf toy area doing stuff with ropes, kettlebells, tires, sleds,medicine balls, sledge hammers and whatever else he could find.

Thanks for the great workout, Forbes. Always feels good to get a good sweat on and mess up the hair.

The second half of the workout was with Dan in the “Yellow Room” (You can see it in the video above).
From the gym, you can not see the “Yellow Room”. You are guided to the room and you head on it. It is fully yellow with suspension equipment hanging from the ceiling.
Dan started us off light performing bridge, plank and push up variation. Then he cranked it up and got us to try the crazy “Suspension Swan Dive.”
Dan was perfect when performing it but the rest of us, it looked more like a crashing swan.

It was a great suspension workout.
