TRX Push-up

How to do it

  1. Grip the TRX handles and extend into a plank position with the straps hanging directly below the anchor point.
  2. Set the body in a straight line from head to heels with the core and glutes braced.
  3. Lower the chest between the handles while keeping the elbows at roughly a 45 degree angle.
  4. Press back up through the handles to full arm extension, keeping them from drifting apart.
  5. Control the instability of the straps by resisting any side-to-side handle movement throughout the rep.
  6. Inhale on the descent and exhale on the press, moving slower than a standard push-up to manage the sway.
