EOD tries new training routine Published March 13, 2015 By Senior Airman Andrew J. Park 94th Airlift Wing Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- The 94th Civil Engineer Squadron explosive ordnance disposal flight participated in a TRX Suspension Training program at the Human Performance Center here March 7. The TRX program is a workout system developed by a U.S. Navy Seal and uses suspension straps and different movements to create a full-body workout . TRX provides a practical way to practice dynamic strength. TRX users build strength through the unique motions allowed by the suspension system, said John Mikula, an exercise physiologist with the 94th Force Support Squadron. According to the TRX website, “TRX Training uses versatile, scalable tools that anyone, anywhere can use any time to perform exercises that improve movement on the field or in life.” The ability to use the TRX system anywhere is one reason why it is issued to the EOD members at Dobbins. This way, they can use TRX at home and deployed locations. TRX is simple to move around,said Mikula. It fits in a couple of bags and can be used anywhere from hotel rooms to out in the field.
