How to do it

Anchor the TRX overhead and face away from the anchor, holding both handles at chest height with arms extended and body leaned forward in a plank line. Press back to standing under control, then extend your arms overhead into a rollout, letting your body fall forward while your core resists, and pull back to the press position.

  1. 1Chest and triceps driving the press as you push away from the anchor
  2. 2Core bracing hard to control the overhead rollout
  3. 3Shoulder blades set down and back through both phases

Common mistakes

  • Letting your hips sag or your low back arch during the rollout
  • Shrugging your shoulders up toward your ears
  • Rushing the rollout instead of resisting it on the way out
