Steps
Step 1: Anchor the TRX effectively and adjust the straps to mid-length.
Step 2: Grab the handles and hang down directly under the straps.
Step 3: Brace your abs and form a straight plank position with just your heels touching the ground.
Step 4: With your palms facing inwards pull your body up to the handles just below your chest. Make sure your shoulder blades go down and your shoulders roll back.
Step 5: Lower yourself back down while keeping your core engaged.
Step 6: Repeat
How to Progress the Exercise
Moving your feet away from the anchor point makes the exercise easier and long as you have not passed under the anchor point. To make the exercise harder move under the anchor point so that your body is under the TRX. To add an extra level about that balance on a bosu while performing this exercise.
Additional Information
Common Mistakes: Flaring the elbows, losing alignment from head to heel.
Tip: This is not an arm workout; focus on squeezing shoulder blades together when bringing chest to handles to work the correct muscle group. Keep elbows close to sides without swinging the arm.
