Make Your Body Your Machine

Progressing the Suspended Press

The Suspended Press is one of the crux indicator exercises in the Force DVD. If it feels like it is a stopper for you, try regressing all the way to Suspended Pushups or even Kneeling Suspended Pushups as you build the requisite upper body and core strength. If you are just on the edge of being able to perform the exercise you will likely need a step between the Suspended Pushup and the full on Suspended Press. Enter the regression featured in the video below.

Learn how to perfrom this extremely challenging exercise from its most difficult position with a few simple steps. Remember that as fatigue quickly builds in this exercise, it is easy to regress back to doing the movement with a foot on the ground, then to the Canadian Divebomber and then back to ever shallower versions of the Suspended Pushup.

Also if you put your feet on a table or something similar, just has to be quite high and stable, you can build up to get your strength and get used to the position before introducing the instability factor of the TRX. That's how I did it, when I started I couldn't even get into the correct position.
