Are TRX Squats Effective? – 3 Ways to Squat (Suspension Training at Home).

We’re getting a little advanced here. But, master them and the transformational possibilities are HUGE…

00:25 TRX Narrow Quad Squats

The outer quad muscle for leg shape and width

• Feet close together. Constantly push the feet outwards against the floor all the time. Up and down. To place all the load on the outer quad.
• Don’t straighten out at the top. This allows the inner and central quad muscles to be involved, taking the load away from the outer quad.

02:10 TRX Quad Squats

Inner and central quad muscles for thickness and definition

• Feet close together and lean forward slightly over the quads.
• Constantly push the feet outwards against the floor all the time. Up and down. However, this time straighten out and the top and SQUEEZE super hard for 2 sec.

03:55 TRX Hamstring Squats

Hamstrings and glutes for stability and shape

• Wide stance. Toes slightly pointed outwards.
• DON’T JUST SIT DOWN, pull the body down by squeezing the hamstrings. Imagine trying to burst a big ball between the ankles and glutes….
• Pause at the bottom. Contract the hams and glutes to stand up. Don’t lockout at the top, keep a bend in the knees and squeeze the glutes and hamstrings super hard for 2 sec.
