I hope you enjoy this. If you want my help to build lean muscle & transform your body with a Suspension Trainer or Band Program, Ever wondered if a TRX suspension trainer or resistance band will build more muscle?
I get this question ALL the time. And I used to obsess over it myself.
But here’s the truth that took me years to discover… They both build exactly the same amount of muscle.
You’re probably thinking “Come on Adam, that can’t be right…”
But let me share something that completely changed my perspective on building muscle.
Don’t have time to read this post? Watch the video below and I’ll explain what is better for building muscle – a TRX Suspension Trainer or Resistance Band?
The External vs Internal Battle
Back when I was caught up in gym culture, I was that guy obsessing over everything external.
How heavy could I lift?
What did I look like while lifting?
What were others thinking of my form?
I was completely missing the point.
I was so externally focused on my environment because I believed being in a gym was the only place to build lean muscle and transform my body.
Because here’s the thing…
Your muscles don’t know what you’re holding or where you are.
They don’t care if it’s a TRX, resistance band, or fancy gym equipment.
All they know is the TENSION you can place upon them through a range of motion.
The Mind-Muscle Revolution
This is where everything changed for me…
I discovered that building muscle happens in the mind.
It’s completely internal. Hence, the mind-muscle connection.
When I finally let go of my ego and started focusing internally, constantly practicing my mind muscle connection, my results exploded.
Here’s what that means:
- feeling every muscle fiber stretch
- powerfully contracting each muscle
- using perfect technique with every movement
- creating constant tension through the full range of motion
Why Most People Get It Wrong
The problem is, most people are stuck where I was…
They’re focused on all the wrong things.
They obsess about which equipment is ‘better’, how they look while exercising, what others are doing around them.
But they’re missing this real secret: the mind-muscle connection.
The Meditation Connection
This is where it gets interesting…
When you workout in your own space with a TRX or resistance band, something magical happens.
You’re forced to use slower tempos, feel every muscle stretching, focus on perfect technique, create powerful contractions.
It becomes a form of moving meditation.

The Little Details That Make Big Differences
Here’s what I mean by internal mastery…
- Can you feel every millimetre of the movement?
- Are you creating tension without swaying or swinging?
- Can you isolate specific muscles through the full range?
- Is your mind completely connected to the working muscle?
These tiny details make MASSIVE contributions to your results.
Want to know something that might surprise you?
I don’t listen to pumping gym music when I train.
Why?
Because it pulls my focus external again.
Instead, I listen to Spanish lessons. It helps me stay focused and internalized.
And hey, learning a new language while building muscle? Win-win!
The Freedom Factor
This approach has given me something priceless: Fitness Freedom.
I’ve built more muscle in the last few years training this way than I ever did in the gym.
And I’ve done it on beaches, in forests, all over the world, with minimal equipment.
Just a regular lad from northeast England, achieving better results than ever.
The Real Question You Should Ask
So stop asking which tool will build more muscle.
Instead, ask yourself: “Which tool helps ME connect better with MY muscles?”
Because that’s where the real magic happens.
Your Path to Internal Mastery
Here’s how to start…
- Focus on feeling every movement.
- Eliminate distractions (yes, put that phone away!).
- Slow down your tempo.
- Create powerful muscle contractions.
- Perfect your technique before adding intensity.
Remember: Technique mastery ALWAYS precedes hard work.
The Transformation Goes Deeper
When you train this way, something incredible happens…
Your workouts become more than just exercise.
They become moving meditation, mind-body connection practice, stress relief, and personal development all rolled into one.
And the best part?
You’re no longer tied to a gym or specific equipment.
You’re truly free to transform your body anywhere, anytime.
Your Next Step
If you’ve been struggling to see results, try this…
For your next workout, forget about what you’re using.
Instead, focus entirely on what you’re FEELING.
Because here’s the truth…
When you master the internal, the external takes care of itself.
That’s real Fitness Freedom.
And if I can do it – just a regular guy who used to be obsessed with gym culture – you absolutely can too.
Remember: It’s not about the tool.
It’s about the connection.
