Steps
Step 1: Begin by leaning back until your body forms a tabletop, adjust the TRX height accordingly.
Step 2: Your feet are placed directly under the TRX anchor while holding onto the TRX handles with arm outstretched.
Step 3: Engage your glutes, hamstrings, upper back and abdominals to keep you in a solid position as you pull yourself upwards using your back muscles.
Step 4: Lower yourself back down.
Step 5: Repeat.
How to progress the exercise
In order to have better control of the shoulder stabilizers in this exercise, start performing the exercise with knees and hips bent at 90 degrees (seated position). From there, you can progress to a straight-bodied position, then to a more horizontal position.
Additional Information
Tip: The progression of this exercise will be a lot slower, due to the lack of bigger lat muscle engagement. Due to this, it is better to begin the exercise in a more upright position to better work the smaller shoulder girdle muscles with proper form.
