TRX Chest Press
How to do it
- Hold the TRX handles and face away from the anchor point, leaning forward with the body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Set the feet at a distance that matches the desired difficulty, further out for more load on the chest.
- Brace the core to keep the hips in line with the shoulders throughout the movement.
- Bend the elbows and lower the chest toward the hands, then press back to the start by extending through the chest and triceps.
- Exhale on the press away from the anchor and inhale on the lowering phase.
- Keep the body rigid from shoulders to ankles; a common fault is letting the hips sag or pike during the press.
