TRX Hands-in-Straps Push-Ups

Also known as TRX Chest Presses

What It Is

A push-up with your hands in hanging straps, so you have to steady them as you press. It builds upper-body strength and shoulder control.

How to Do It

Lengthen the straps so the handles hang near your knees, and grip them facing away from the anchor. Walk your feet back until you lean forward in a straight line, arms straight. Bend your elbows to lower your chest between your hands, then press back up.

Tips

Keep the handles from drifting apart as you lower. Stand more upright to make it easier.

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.
