TRX Atomic Push-Up

Feet in the straps and hands on the floor: press out of a push-up, then draw the knees to the chest – one push and one tuck make a rep.

How to do it

Setup

Feet in the straps behind you, hands under the shoulders, plank line set.

Steps

  1. Lower the chest to the floor, elbows about 45 degrees from the body.
  2. Press back up to straight arms.
  3. Draw both knees to the chest.
  4. Extend back to the plank – that is one rep.

Common mistakes

Piking the hips during the push-up half: hold the line until the tuck. Half push-ups to save the tuck: cut the reps instead. Feet swinging between the halves; pause a beat at the plank.

Breathing

Inhale on the way down, exhale on the press and the tuck.
