Suspended FalloutSuspended Fallout

An advanced core exercise using TRX straps that builds abdominal strength and shoulder stability through extension.

Instructions

  1. Adjust the suspension straps to approximately waist height with handles ready.
  2. Stand facing the anchor point and grasp the handles, then move into an incline plank position leaning back into the straps.
  3. Keeping your arms fully extended and core tight, lean further forward, allowing your shoulders to extend.
  4. Raise your arms overhead as you extend, allowing your body to fall forward while maintaining a neutral spine.
  5. Pause at the furthest point while maintaining control.
  6. Return to the starting plank position by engaging your core and pulling yourself back.

Tips

  • Engage your core throughout the entire movement to protect your lower back.
  • Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  • Adjust the angle of your body backward to make the exercise easier, or more forward for increased difficulty.
  • Move in a controlled manner to avoid momentum.
  • This is an advanced core exercise; master easier suspended exercises first.
