Suspended Push-Up

A TRX-based push-up variation that builds chest, shoulder, and core strength with adjustable difficulty.

Instructions

1. Anchor your suspension straps securely to a pull-up bar or overhead fixture.
2. Grasp a handle in each hand and move into a plank position with your body at an appropriate angle (more horizontal = harder).
3. Keep your body straight, shoulders packed, and core engaged.
4. Lower your body by flexing the elbows until your chest nearly touches your hands.
5. Pause briefly at the bottom position.
6. Press back to the starting position by extending your elbows and engaging your chest.

Tips

• Adjust the angle of your body to modify difficulty; start more upright and progress to more horizontal positions.
• Keep your elbows at approximately 45 degrees from your body.
• Maintain a rigid core to prevent sagging hips.
• You can use your feet for added stability by placing them on the ground.
• This is an excellent progressive exercise for building upper body strength.
