Progressing the Suspended Press

Fraser — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 07:00:00 GMT

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.

TRX Suspended Row and Press

The Suspended Row and Press is an incredibly intense progression from the Suspended Side Plank. If you have already mastered the Suspended Side Plank from your hand and are ready for a serious challenge, give this advanced exercise a try.

The movement requires tremendous core stabilization and control to perform with good technique, along with a high level of upper body strength and coordination. Have fun with this, one of the ultimate strength exercises on the TRX.
