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.

Wounded Warrior on the TRX

Fitness Anywhere — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 22:42:00 GMT

As a Wounded Warrior and an above the knee amputee, this individual soldier utilizes the TRX to strengthen his core allowing him more stability during Activities of Daily Living (ADL), whether walking, lifting, bending, twisting, turning, etc.

One of Fitness Anywhere's core missions is to keep soldiers fit - for combat and for life, on deployment and after they return from service. The Fitness Anywhere Wounded Warrior Fund provides equipment, training and encouragement to injured soldiers. Five dollars from the purchase of every TRX FORCE Kit sold through FitnessAnywhere.com goes to support this effort.
