TRX Twist-Up

From a lean back on straight arms facing the anchor, the body turns side-on and rises to standing as the arms sweep overhead.

How to do it

Setup

Straps anchored high, facing the anchor, a handle in each hand, arms straight, leaning back with the heels down.

Steps

  1. Turn the chest away from the anchor and rise to standing.
  2. Sweep the straight arms up so they finish overhead, side-on to the anchor.
  3. Lower back into the lean, turning to face the anchor again.

Common mistakes

Bending the arms to pull: they stay straight; the trunk turns and lifts. Hips sagging in the lean: keep the body one straight line. Dropping back into the lean: lower slowly against the straps.

Breathing

Exhale turning up, inhale leaning back.
