Deceptively simple - real pain :-)
Many of you may have heard of or trained with The Lebert Buddy System.
It is deceptively simple (”Isn’t it just a TRX?”), but The Buddy System offers a set of unique benefits as well as real pain (of the good kind!) with the application of solid effort.
The Buddy System offers the opportunity to work unilaterally against the resistance of the other limb (arm or leg) which gives the following benefits:
- Maximal or near maximal tension throughout the range of motion (good for both maximal strength and muscle building)
- A very clear picture of any side to side differences in strength
- A controlled eccentric loading (good for both maximal strength and muscle building)
Certain exercises, like standing alternate push or pulls, seem to “magically” entice the client to move VERY agressively with a high degree of effort.
For those of you who have been with me for a while, you know that I spend a lot of time coming up with various combination exercises. Click on the video below to see one of them, that can be used with intermediate and advanced clients.

PS: If you or your clients are ready to reap the benefits of the Buddy System you can get it here.
Note: I ONLY endorse products that I believe are relevant for the training of World Class athletes.
