Quick video on key technique tips for how to do a TRX High Row to build back muscles with suspension training.
Technique points also below vid…
Technique Points:
Losing Tension
Don’t hang or rest at the bottom of the TRX High Row exercise.
Tension is lost on the back muscles if you do.
We MUST maintain that squeeze throughout to maintain tension on the muscle
For a beginner, do not straighten your arms at the bottom.
This again will result in a loss of tension on the muscle.
Elbow position
Keep the elbows parallel to the floor.
The hands are just hooks, it’s the elbows that lead.
Drive them back and out.
Advanced bottom stretch
I’d recommend 1-2 years (BEG – INT) of not bending elbows.
Keeping the focus for every exercise on maintaining tension with decent range of motion.
Once you get real comfortable with each exercise then begin stretching at the bottom end of exercises to get as much range on motion (muscle incorporated) as possible.
This is where is where it gets more advanced.
Maintaining tension whilst also maximumly lengthening each muscle takes practice.
From experience I’ve found it’s too much to teach to clients who aren’t already doing each exercise very well habitually.
Kind of overloads the mind, if that makes sense.
A lot to focus on in one rep.
They end up hanging / relaxing and losing tension on the muscle in each rep.
