How to do it

Set the TRX to mid length and grab a handle in each hand. Lean back with arms extended and body straight, heels planted, so the straps support your weight. Keeping your elbows straight, open your arms straight out to the sides into a T as you squeeze your shoulder blades together and pull your chest toward the anchor. Lower under control and repeat, walking your feet forward for more resistance.

  1. 1Your rear delts and mid-back opening your arms into the T
  2. 2Your shoulder blades pinching together hard
  3. 3A straight, braced body line throughout

Common mistakes

  • Bending your elbows to row instead of fly
  • Shrugging your shoulders up toward your ears
  • Sagging your hips and losing the plank line
