Upper body TRX workout

As a professional physique competitor and trainer, I rely on resistance training to build and shape my clients’ physiques. I use the TRX suspension trainer often as a warmup and/or finisher. During our Quarantine time, I’ve used my suspension trainer more often than usual in my workouts.  This upper body and core workout was really challenging!  I did 3-4 sets of each exercise with rep ranges varying from 8-12.

Building width and depth in my back is a priority in my training.  I started with pulls in a variety of angles to target different areas of my back.

• Pull ups – upper back and lats
• Inverted pull-up neutral grip – mid back
• Inverted pull-up reverse grip – lower lats
• Reverse fly – rear delts and upper back

Next, I moved to pushing movements and arms

• Chest press – chest and front delts
• Triceps extension
• Biceps curl
• Y- raises – mid and rear shoulders

Finally, these core exercises required not only core stabilization but shoulders and arms as well!

• Plank to pushup
• Pike ups
• Tuck ups
• Oblique crunch
• Mountain climber
