TRX Tricep Extension
Skill level: Beginner
Body parts:Triceps, Chest, Biceps, Forearms and shoulders
Benefits: The trx tricep extension is an exercise that primarily targets the triceps and to a lesser extent the biceps, calves, forearms and shoulders.
The TRX Tricep Extension is similar to a French Press (aka Skull Crusher), except in this exercise, your weight is going to be your body, rather than a barbell.
Step 1: Hang the TRX cables at an elevated point so that the handles hang down to just above your waist.
Step 2: Grab the handles with your palms facing downwards.
Step 3: Keep your body in a straight line and lean forward so that your body makes about a 50 degree angle with the floor.
Step 4: Let your hands in so that they are directly over your shoulders.
Step 5: Now extend your arms out and upwards.
Step 6: Repeat this motion for the preset number of reps.
Tips
1. Set the TRX straps to a height just below your chest.
2. With your feet together and your core tight, lean forward until your hands are to the sides of your head and behind it.
