Bicep Curl to Press (TRX / Suspension Trainer)

A compound upper body exercise that combines a biceps curl with a shoulder press in one flowing movement.

Instructions

1. Anchor the TRX straps at mid-length.
2. Face the anchor point and grip the handles at chest height.
3. Walk your feet forward to achieve the desired angle.
4. Perform a biceps curl by pulling yourself toward the handles, bending your elbows.
5. At the top of the curl, rotate your palms outward and press your body slightly upward.
6. Extend your arms overhead in a pressing motion as if performing a shoulder press.
7. Lower yourself back to the starting curl position in a controlled manner.
8. Repeat the curl-to-press movement for the desired number of reps.

Tips

• This movement combines pulling (biceps curl) and pressing (shoulder press) in a single exercise.
• Maintain control throughout both portions of the movement; avoid using momentum.
• The transition from curl to press should be smooth and continuous.
• Your body angle determines the difficulty; more horizontal = more challenging.
• Engage your core to maintain stability as you transition between pulling and pressing.
