4 Beginner TRX Workouts to Build Full-Body Lean Strength

Welcome to the Beginner Total Body Transform TRX Workout Challenge!

There are 4 workouts (upper and lower body) designed to help you build a foundation of lean strength. The challenge is to complete 4 of these workouts per week.

Bookmark this page and come back to it for each TRX workout.

The TRX Workout Technique

We will be using “muscle-centric technique” for all of these TRX workouts. Most suspension training workouts focus on “movement-centric technique,” which means using multiple muscles to move your bodyweight from point A to B.

While this is fine if you just want to work up a sweat, we want to build actual lean muscle. By using muscle-centric technique, we will isolate specific muscle groups to direct all our bodyweight load onto them.

When you isolate specific muscles, it creates a greater strength and muscle-building stimulus compared to a shared load, where multiple muscles only take a fraction of the load, resulting in a weaker stimulus.

Muscle-centric technique is what will build lean strength from every single TRX workout. So focus on your technique from the instructional ques in each workout video..

Engage Your Mind-Muscle Connection

I also want you to engage your mind-muscle connection in these workouts.

Visualise your muscles as they squeeze, lengthen, and contract. Don’t just mindlessly move from point A to B. Focus on the muscle you’re training and feel it work.

Squeeze it powerfully with your mind throughout every single rep in every workout.

Start Here: Warm-Up Routine

Before we begin, we’ll do a warm-up routine to loosen your joints, help prevent injury, get the blood pumping, and establish your mind-muscle connection with each muscle group.

Ready for the first TRX workout?

TRX Workout 1 – Upper Body

This first TRX workout focuses on your upper body.

We’ll do chest flys to build muscle in your chest, high rows for the back, tricep skull crushers for the arms, and bicep curls. Then we’ll move on to bicycle kicks, which are fantastic for core strength and conditioning.

To finish up, we’ll do isometric upper body squeezes and pulls.

TRX Workout 2 – Lower Body

In workout two, we’ll focus on the lower body, using exercises such as jump squats, hamstring curls to target the back of your legs, lunges to target your quads (front thighs), and wide squats to target your hamstrings and glutes.

We’ll also include planks and isometric front and back squeezes at the end of the workout to engage every last muscle fiber.

TRX Workout 3 – Upper Body

In workout three, we’re returning to the upper body, we’ll start with a low row for back, then move to chest press, followed by tricep extensions and hammer curls. These are similar to regular curls and tricep extensions, but we’ll use a different grip and wrist position.

We’ll then move on to stomach crunches for our core and finish with isometric squeezes and pushes to exhaust those last muscle fibers.

TRX Workout 4 – Lower Body

In workout four, we’re focusing again on lower body. We’ll do single-leg pistol squats to target our quads, hip thrusts for hamstrings and glutes, single-leg reverse lunges for quads, and wide squats for glutes and hamstrings.

We’ll finish with front and back isometric squeezes.

Hello, my friend… It’s my passion to help you build lean strength and transform your body from home using just a TRX suspension trainer or resistance band and Evergreen Nutrition Optimisation. I call it Fitness Freedom!

I spent 8+ years as a personal trainer hating the ego-driven gym culture. Every day I saw clients like you struggle to make sessions, feel intimidated by the environment, and regard the gym as a chore NOT enjoyment. Because of this, their results were limited. But they believed there was no other way. So in 2016, I setup Fitness Freedom Athletes. To teach you how to build lean strength from home… so you never need to rely on gyms, diet fads, or anyone else’s schedule ever again.
