The TRX Archer Push-Up is a dynamic upper-body exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps while enhancing core stability. By isolating one side of the body at a time it promotes unilateral strength and muscular balance.

Primary muscles worked

  • Chest

Secondary muscles worked

  • Anterior Deltoids (Front Shoulders)
  • Triceps Brachii
  • Core

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Setup: Adjust the TRX straps to mid-length. Stand facing away from the anchor point and hold the handles with an overhand grip.
    2. Starting Position: Extend your arms straight in front of you at shoulder height, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and glutes.
    3. Descent: Shift your weight to one side, bending the elbow of the working arm while keeping the opposite arm straight and extended to the side. Lower your chest toward the working hand.
    4. Press: Push through the working arm to straighten your elbow, returning to the starting position.
    5. Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other arm.

    Progression Tips

    • Increase Difficulty: Step back to create a steeper angle, increasing resistance.
    • Add Instability: Elevate one foot or perform the exercise on an unstable surface to challenge balance.
    • Tempo Variation: Slow down the lowering phase to increase time under tension.

    Modifications

    • Easier Variation: Stand more upright to reduce resistance.
    • Assistance: Use a staggered stance for added stability.
