A TRX-assisted bicep isolation exercise where you pull your body toward the straps using your arms for bicep development.

Instructions

  1. Adjust the TRX straps to mid-length
  2. Face the anchor point and hold the handles with an underhand grip
  3. Lean back at an angle with your body in a straight line
  4. Your heels should remain planted on the floor
  5. Pull your body toward the handles by flexing your elbows and engaging your biceps
  6. Bring your chest close to your hands at the top of the movement
  7. Lower your body back to the starting angle with control
  8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions

Tips

  • The underhand grip specifically targets the biceps
  • Adjust your body angle to increase or decrease difficulty
  • Keep your body straight; avoid excessive hip movement
  • This exercise can build significant bicep mass and strength
  • The TRX provides variable resistance throughout the movement
  • Progress by increasing your body angle to make the exercise more challenging
