Dips TRX-style

Fitness Anywhere — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:05:00 GMT

If you thought you needed a dip station at the local park or gym to incorporate this classic bodyweight exercise into your training, then Fraser Quelch, FA’s Head Coach and Director of Training and Development, would like you to think again.

This video shows an easy way to do dips on the TRX. TRX dips build tremendous tricep and pectoral strength like normal dips, but they also improve shoulder stability and mobility at the same time. This fundamental move is suitable for all levels of fitness, but as Fraser Quelch demonstrates in this video, the TRX Dip can be made more difficult with a few simple adjustments in body position. So click below and get ready to burn!

This advanced suspended exercise demands core control and reaction to both gravity and momentum and is an excellent way to create the hip dissociation and mobility necessary for many higher level athletics. It also helps with single leg and upper body strength along with coordinated shoulder function. This tremendous exercise is a strong addition to any mid-level to advanced program.

You should be able to perform 20 pendulum swings before integrating this exercise into your program. Begin doing the exercise at a slow speed and then add tempo and power as you progress.
