TRX Forearm Plank

Also known as TRX Suspended Plank

What It Is

A plank with your feet hanging in straps. Your whole midsection works harder to keep your body still and straight.

How to Do It

Set the straps so the foot cradles hang at mid-calf height. Lie face down on the floor and hook your toes into the cradles. Rest your forearms on a mat or folded towel, elbows under your shoulders. Lift your hips into a straight line and hold.

Tips

Keep the straps from swinging, a sign your body is truly still. Squeeze your glutes so your hips don't sag.

Skill Level

Intermediate. Free-weight lifts, single-leg balance under load, or near-bodyweight strength moves. Form matters.

Type

Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.

Engagement

Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
