TRX Chest Press (Push-up)
TRX Chest Press (Push-up)
Setup
-Hands out in front
-Lean forward to toes
-Arms Out Straight
-Then begin to lean forward and bend elbows to 90 degrees or just a bit past. If you feel pressure in the shoulder do not go down so far. You want to feel a stretch in pec more than the shoulder.
Full range of motion
-Focus on expanding the chest and use that to then contract and push up back up. You will feel your shoulders and arms also engage. This is a good thing. With the TRX we are not trying to isolate so much. We want to engage as much as we can.
-Keep head looking forward.
-Keep the back straight and don't dip. You actually want to squeeze your entire core.

Reps and Sets
-For Athleticism, fat burning, and muscle toning 20-30 reps can allow you to focus on the exercise in a number of ways.
-Make the exercise easy at first.
20-30 reps for 3-5 sets
-If you are just a beginner stay with the same motion for all 30. You need to get use to how the exercise works and the way the muscle responds. Recovery afterwards is important. Feel the soreness and eat properly to make the muscle recover.
-More advance can play with elbow angles, lunge with it, single arm, and more.
-Please think when training!!!
-Listen to your body!!!
Let me know how it went!!!
