TRX Triceps Press

TRX Triceps Press, or TRX triceps extensions are one of the very best triceps exercises. In fact, it uses more muscle than some of the other great triceps exercises on my List of Exercises. Like push ups, it is a great exercise because anytime you are moving your body instead of moving an object in your hands, you are using more muscle and using more energy.  They are made even more superior because the handles of the TRX system also move freely. This requires even more muscles to activate in order to stabilize you. Although they require the TRX system, the equipment is light and portable so they can also be done anywhere. Besides this exercise, you can see more at List of Exercises by Body Part. Remember, an exercise is only as good as the workout program it is part of. Make sure you check out Best Exercises Programs.

 

Description

• Place both hands in the handles
• Estimate the the proper placement for the feet to give you the correct amount of gravity resistance. Remember, the farther forward the feet, the easier the exercise will be and vice versa. Be conservative in your estimate. You can always make it harder if needed.
• Put yourself in the up-position of a push up
• Keeping your elbows forward, slowly lower your body by allowing your hands to move to the side of your face
• Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions or until fatigued
