TRX Pull-Up
The pull-up on TRX handles, palms facing forward and the knees bent behind you; the whole body rises with the pull, the bent knees lifting off the floor.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling under the anchor, then hanging on straight arms from the handles, palms facing forward, knees bent and feet behind, torso upright.
Steps
- Set the shoulder blades down, then pull the elbows toward the ribs.
- Rise until the hands are beside the shoulders, the bent knees lifting off the floor with you.
- Lower back to straight arms under control.
Common mistakes
Kicking the knees up to swing the body: the arms pull, the legs stay folded. Handles drifting forward of the head: pull them straight down beside the body. Letting the straps twist the wrists: keep them in line with the forearms.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale on the way down.
