Domande frequenti - Flying

• What is the difference between the Flying in a triangle configuration and with separate arms?
  In the triangle configuration, the two handles converge at a single point, ensuring greater lateral stability and a flatter learning curve. With the arms separated, the handles are independent, as on gymnastic rings: each arm moves independently, requiring significantly greater stabilising control of the shoulders and core. This second configuration is suitable for athletes with experience on rings or a solid foundation in calisthenics.
• Is suspension training effective even for those who don’t already have a good level of strength?
  Yes. The mechanism for adjusting the intensity via the angle of inclination allows you to start from almost vertical positions — where the load is minimal — and progress towards more horizontal positions. A beginner can perform suspension rows using the 30-40% with their own body weight, whilst an advanced athlete can train in a fully horizontal position or with their feet raised. The same piece of equipment suits both levels without requiring any structural modifications.
• What exercises can you do with the Flying?
  The range is extensive: TRX rows, suspension chest presses, fallouts for the core, bicep curls, dips (with arms apart), pike and body saw for the anterior core, assisted single-leg squats, lunges with the rear foot suspended (a variation of the Bulgarian split squat), and dynamic planks. With the arms-apart configuration, variations of the progressive iron cross and scapular stabilisation movements typical of rings are added.
• What is the minimum anchor point required to use the Flying safely?
  The anchor point must be capable of withstanding dynamic loads — not only the athlete’s static weight, but also the inertia of their movements. A rack crossbar, a wall bar correctly fixed to the wall, or a Universal Wall Anchor fitted to load-bearing masonry are the most reliable solutions. The Anchor Door is suitable for controlled movements on a door with a solid frame, but is not recommended for exercises involving a ballistic or swinging component.
• Can Flying be incorporated into group training sessions?
  The Flying 2092 is also designed for group training: the straps are easy to transport and can be attached to rack crossbars or wall bars in a row. In an area equipped with multiple anchor points, it is possible to set up multiple stations for circuit training. The quick-adjust straps allow the working height to be adjusted for each athlete in a matter of seconds, without significantly disrupting the flow of the session.
• How can suspension training be combined with work on punching bags in the same session?
  The Universal Wall Anchor 9062/1 is designed to support both flying bags and boxing bags (up to 50 kg in the 2109 and 2109V models). In a mixed circuit training session, it is therefore possible to alternate rounds on the bag — for power, coordination and anaerobic conditioning — with suspension exercises for relative strength and core control, using the same anchor point and freeing up floor space.
