TRX Squat

Hold the straps at your chest and squat deep with a straight back; the straps help you balance.

How to do it

Setup

Hold the straps at chest height with light tension, feet shoulder-width.

Steps

  1. Squat deep, knees tracking over the toes.
  2. Keep the back straight – the straps are for balance, not pulling.
  3. Drive up through the whole foot.

Common mistakes

Pulling yourself up on the straps: the legs must do the lift; keep the arms soft. Knees caving inward: push them out over the toes. Heels lifting: sit back into the hips.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale on the way up.
