HOW TO DO TRX CHEST PRESS

TRX CHEST PRESS - HOW TO DO

Starting Position:

1. Stand facing the TRX suspension trainer with your feet about hip-width apart.

2. Hold onto the handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down.

3. Walk your feet back until your body is in a straight line, with your arms extended straight in front of you and your weight supported by your upper body.

Form:

1. Inhale and slowly lower your chest towards the floor, maintaining a straight line from head to heels.

2. Keep your core muscles engaged and your arms straight as you lower your body.

3. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement when your chest is lowered.

4. Exhale and push yourself back up to the starting position by extending your arms and pressing your palms into the handles.

Personal Trainer Tips:

• Maintain a neutral wrist position with palms facing down throughout the movement.

• The TRX chest press motion is similar to push-ups but provides additional instability, challenging your shoulder stabilizers.
