TRX: Chest Press

By FitnessDude · Comments (0)

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

The TRX Chest press is one of the best ways to build upper body strength. This is a very simple exercise to set up, but depending on you angle, it can be a very difficult exercise to perform. I like to adjust my straps to around mid-calf length, and then adjust my body to get a good angle that will really challenge my muscles. The TRX Chest Press not only works out your chest, but it also works out your core, because you have to keep it tight the whole time.

The reason this workout is so affective and different then doing a normal push-up, is because you have to stabilize yourself through the workout, which works out all the little supporting muscles around you main chest muscles. Here is a video to show how to properly do the TRX Chest Press.

TRX: Atomic Push Up Challenge

April is TRX Month on Ask The Fitness Dude!!

Here is the TRX workout of the day…The TRX Atomic Push Up. The Atomic push up was the workout that got me hooked on the TRX suspension trainer. This is one of my favorite workouts to do, mostly because I love push-ups. I think push-ups are one of the best workouts anyone can do for their bodies, and when performed on a suspension trainer they are even better. The Atomic Push-up is another TRX workout that exercises more than one muscle group at a time. This workout mainly focuses on your upper-body and your abdominal muscles.

Here is how you perform the TRX Atomic Push-up:

Adjust your suspension trainer to mid-calf range, then stick your feet in the foot straps. Get your body in the push-up position, aka “plank position.” Make sure that your hands are slightly wider than your shoulders and that your toes are drawn to your shins to activate a strong plank position. Once you are in the right position you are ready to begin the workout. Perform a push-up (down then up), then draw your knees to your chest, thrusting your butt into the air (in and out), then repeat. Do as many as you can, once your back starts to sag, then you are done with the workout.

Extra Challenge!…Perform the Atomic Push-Up to a metronome so that you do the workout controlled and on a tempo. Do as many as you can. Here is a video so show you a visual on how to perform the TRX atomic Push-up:

TRX: Squat Row

By FitnessDude · Comments (0)

The TRX Squat Row is a single leg/single arm workout. Which means, you will be holding the TRX straps with one arm, and that you will be performing the exercise on one leg. Using the TRX for any type of squat is so good for you. The problem with traditional squats using the barbell, is that you can only get so deep in your squat because of all the weight. Because you can only go down to a 90 degree angle, you really are only working out your hamstrings, while your quads get left out, and if you leg muscles do not get an even amount of strength building, then you are very likely to get injured.

The great thing about the TRX is that it allows you to almost get your butt to the floor on a squat, providing you with full range of motion and full strengthening for the quad and the hamstring. The TRX Squat Row is one of my favorite TRX Squats because you get to focus on one leg at a time, which allows you to really get a great workout with each leg. This workout also helps to build your core strength and your back muscles. The TRX always provides a multiple muscle workout.

So here is how you perform the TRX Squat Row. To start, grab your TRX handle with the right hand and balance on your left leg with your right leg floating in the air. Once you get your balance, you can then perform the squat, going down slowly till your butt almost hits the ground and then power up, try to keep your floating leg straight. This workout is performed on one leg at a time, so make sure that you workout both legs an equal amount of times.

TRX: The Body Saw

By FitnessDude · Comments (0)

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

The TRX Body Saw Workout is a wonderful exercise to help you build strength in areas that might not always be easy to build strength in. The Body Saw workout focuses on three main areas, your abs, shoulders, and back muscles. That is what I love about the TRX Suspension Trainer, each workout targets more than one area of your body, making it easy to get a full-body workout. The Body Saw in particular, exercises two areas that a lot of people struggle with, the abdominal region and back muscles. This workout, if done correctly can have a serious affect on the definition of those muscles, working out every little supporting muscle around those regions.

The Body Saw is very effective, and it is not hard to perform. This workout might be easy to do, but you might find that after a few reps, that you might have a hard time keeping the correct form. When that happens, then you must stop and take a break, it is key to do this workout properly, so that you can maximize your results and not injure yourself. The Body Saw is performed by putting your feet in the foot loops and getting in a plank position with your elbows on the ground. With your arms at a 90 degree angle, and your feet suspended in the air, push your body back so that your arms start to straigten a bit. Make sure to keep your abdominals and back muscle engaged, do not slouch or arch your back, think of yourself as a 2×4 piece of wood, straight as can be.

Here is a video to explain the workout in more detail:
