TRX Close-Grip Chest Press
The TRX chest press with the handles held close together; the narrow hands keep the elbows tight and move more of the work to the triceps.
How to do it
Setup
Facing away from the anchor, handles together at chest height, arms straight, body one line leaning forward.
Steps
- Bend the elbows along the ribs and lower the chest to the hands.
- Keep the handles touching the whole way.
- Press back to straight arms, body in one line.
Common mistakes
Handles drifting apart: squeeze them together; the close grip is the variant. Hips sagging as you lower: brace and squeeze the glutes. Elbows flaring out: they travel along the ribs.
Breathing
Inhale as you lower, exhale on the press.
