The TRX Atomic Push Up (similar to Pike Push Up) is a two part exercise, making it more challenging than a regular push Up. The components of this exercise are a full pushup, followed by a tuck (ie: driving knees to chest). This combination augments core strength requirements, as well as shoulder strength , as the body angle changes through this movement.
The TRX Hip Thrust is a good movement to work the posterior chain, meaning the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back. You are in a supine position (ie: lying on your back) when executing this exercise, and have the use of your arms on the floor to support you
The TRX Suspended Jackknife exercise is a dynamic tuck position, bringing your knees to your chest. It is a strong core activator while working the upper body isometrically to stabilize you through the movement.
The TRX Sprinter start is a good way to incorporate a usually stationary plank into a dynamic movement. This exercise will target your lower body muscles, with the key being a strong hip extension/ hip thrust. .Because it is a good dynamic exercise, it can also be utilized for cardio benefit.
The TRX Prone Pike exercise is similar to the TRX Suspended Jackknife, only this time, you are performing a pike, as opposed to a tuck, which greatly increases the difficulty of this movement. Again, this is a great core activator, but if you are somewhat weak, it can target the hip flexors too much
The TRX Kneeling Fallout exercise is a variation of a Swiss ball rollout or the Ab Roller movement. The emphasis is placed on the core muscles, plus a good amount of shoulder stability is required.
The TRX Body Saw is a dynamic form of the plank position, executed on the elbows, in order to get more ab/core recruitment. Great for dynamic shoulder stability and core activation, especially in the Saggital/font-to-back plane of movement.
TRX inverted rows are a great way to build up your back strength by first mastering your own bodyweight. They can be used as a stepping stone to chin ups and pull ups. Using a TRX rather than a barbell to perform inverted rows places constant pressure on your back muscles.
The TRX Tricep Extension is similar to the Skull Crusher the only difference is that your body is the weight rather than a barbell. This is one of the best tricep exercises you can do on the TRX as it can be used to work all three heads of the Trciecp by changing the position of your elbows.
Biceps are one of those muscles most people admire which is not surprising as it is one of the most utilised muscles in our body. The TRX Bicep curl is an amazing exercise that will strengthen your Biceps with nothing but your body weight and the TRX Suspension Trainer.
