If you’re still struggling to build lean muscle using your suspension trainer. Then you need to refine your technique.

It’s the little changes that compound to the biggest results. Time to transform your body with ‘muscle-centric’ suspension trainer technique…

5 Best TRX Exercises To Transform Your Body

In this post, I’ll break down the 5 best TRX suspension trainer exercises to transform your body using ‘muscle-centric’ technique.

I’ll guide you through each exercise and how to do them effectively for maximum transformational results from each workout.

TRX Exercise #1 – TRX Chest Press

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to advance your technique. This step-by-step tutorial covers the ‘muscle-centric’ TRX technique to maximise your chest muscle gains.

The Benefits Of A TRX Chest Press

  • Improves Upper Body Strength: Effectively target and strengthen your chest muscles as the primary and your shoulders, and triceps as the secondary.
  • Functional Training: Mimics real-life movements, improving overall functional fitness.
  • Improves Joint Health: Low-impact exercise that reduces strain on joints while providing effective resistance.
  • Enhances Flexibility: Encourages a full range of motion, improving flexibility and mobility.

TRX Exercise #2 – TRX Squats (3 Variations)

In this video, I break down 3 essential TRX squat variations that will help you build muscle and leg strength. We’ll cover 3 types of TRX squat:

TRX Narrow Squats: Focus on targeting your quads (mainly outer quad) to build muscle and strength. Perfect for adding definition to your thighs.

TRX Wide Squats: Engage your glutes and hamstrings to develop muscle and power. Ideal for shaping and strengthening your posterior chain.

TRX Normal Stance Squats: A comprehensive move that targets your quads, hamstrings, and glutes for balanced muscle development and overall leg strength.

Focus on isolating each leg area and using your mind-muscle connection to powerfully squeeze each muscle. Using slow, controlled movements with long time under tension for maximum muscle and strength growth.

The Benefits of TRX Squats

  • Strength: Build stronger quads, hamstrings, and glutes by using each exercise to isolate and target them individually. For more effective muscle growth.
  • Muscle definition: Enhance your muscle definition and leg shape by using full ranges of motion.
  • Stability: These squats are functional and dynamic movements. They will help improve your movement patterns for day-to-day life. To enjoy life more and not be limited by your body.

TRX Exercise #3 – TRX Plank

In this video, I’ll show you the ‘Muscle-Centric’ TRX technique for mastering the TRX Plank to boost your core strength quicker and easier. And how to progress from a beginner to an advanced level.

This exercise may seem simple, but when performed correctly and used consistently. It delivers powerful core strengthening.

Benefits Of A TRX Plank

  • Foundational exercise: Enhancing your core strength, stability, and endurance.
  • Stability: By using the TRX suspension trainer, you’ll add an extra layer of difficulty to a normal plank, ensuring your entire core area is fully engaged and challenged:
  • Progression: Allows a simple progression from beginner to advanced level as your strength increases.

TRX Exercise #4 – TRX Row (2 Variations)

Looking to build your back muscles and strength with TRX suspension training? In this video, we’ll look at how to do a TRX Row with two powerful exercise variations. With key technique tips to ensure you are activating the right muscles for greater development

Using ‘muscle-centric’ technique, you’ll maximise lean muscle and strength development for your back. Targeting your lats, traps, and rear shoulders.

Benefits Of TRX Row Exercises

  • Strength: Boost upper and lower back strength to support your whole body
  • Fix rounded shoulders: Improve overall posture and stability
  • Better movement: Stronger and more stable shoulder girdle
  • Aesthetics: Develop width to your body frame for that sought after V shape.

TRX Exercise #5 – TRX Tricep Extension

In this video, we’ll look at two powerful exercise variations for TRX Tricep Extension to sculpt strong arms. Using ‘Muscle-Centric Technique’ and effective exercise form.

Benefits of TRX Tricep Extensions

  • Maintain tension: Don’t pause at the top and straighten your arm out to rest, this takes the tension off the tricep. Maintain a squeeze and come down just before.
  • Stretch: Focus on stretching your arms behind your head at the bottom of the exercise. For the biggest range of motion possible.

Take Your Time

TRX suspension training is a game-changer when it comes to bodyweight exercises, but only if you perform it with the right technique to build muscle.

Otherwise, like all other ‘fitness tools’ you’re just going through the motions without utilising it for maximum body transformation results.

Take time to master it, and you’ll surprise yourself with what you can achieve with one simple tool from home.

I spent 8+ years as a personal trainer hating the ego-driven gym culture.

But they believed there was no other way.

So in 2016, I setup Fitness Freedom Athletes. To date, Fitness Freedom Athletes has helped over 8000+ transform their bodies (and lives!).

      Hey Judy, thanks for the comment. I don’t have a coupon code at the moment I’m afraid. I do know they sometimes do discounts for seasonal holidays etc.

I'm new to Suspension Training, where shall I start?

First up, welcome! Out of all the millions of websites out there thank you for visiting this one. Secondly, your interest and motivation will change your life. It did for me and thousands of fitness freedom athletes in our community of all ages. If you have a suspension trainer (like a TRX)...

The best place to start would be with the Beginner Suspension Trainer Total Body Transformation Program. It’s the most popular Program and will teach you the effective muscle-centric technique to transform your body and begin your life-changing journey.

If you’re seeking a resistance band Program, get stuck into the Band Muscle Pump Program which is for beginners/intermediates to learn the band muscle-centric technique and transform their body with just one resistance band.

What makes this different from other suspension training Programs?

Maybe you’ve tried suspension training before and it didn’t work, so you wonder how is this different?

Here’s the truth: You didn’t fail. The technique failed you.

Richard is 50 years old. He’d tried everything for his knee mobility problems. When he started my program, he told me: “I was skeptical because I’d tried suspension trainers before with no results.”

But here’s what changed everything… Richard learned Muscle-Centric Technique instead of the mindless “movement-centric” stuff he’d been doing from YouTube videos.

The difference – Instead of multiple muscles sharing the load (which creates zero growth stimulus), he learned to isolate individual muscles.

The result? In his own words: “I have dropped 12 lbs and gained 90% of my mobility back. The strength I have gained has helped significantly.”

Yes, you may have tried suspension training before. But you’ve never tried my suspension training technique. The one that actually builds lean muscle and transforms bodies.

  • What you tried before: Movement-centric technique (multiple muscles sharing load)
  •  What these Programs teach: Muscle-centric technique (isolated muscle overload)
  • Why it matters: Only isolated muscles get the stimulus needed for real growth

The reframe: Your previous “failure” actually proves you need the RIGHT technique, not the RIGHT equipment.

Do you have any training courses or Workout Programs?

Yes absolutely, I have The Fitness Freedom Suspension Trainer & Resistance Band Programs for all levels and fitness goals. They will teach you the effective 'Muscle-Centric Technique' that will transform your body! And cover everything from nutrition to mindset and performance execution.

PLUS, once you become a Fitness Freedom Athlete, you'll get access to a tun of member only resources and bonuses within the Fitness Freedom Athletes platform.

I got you covered for every challenge and every goal.

What if I'm too out of shape?

Plot twist: Being out of shape is your biggest advantage.

Joe said it perfectly: “Outstanding program. It is perfectly paced for true beginners who are looking for a way to start getting fit with a program that pushes you, but doesn’t ask too much too soon.”

The Programs have two phases specifically designed for this:

Phase 1 (4 weeks): Technique mastery and building your foundation Phase 2 (4 weeks): Transformation and strength building

Matt started overweight and out of shape. Result? “Lost 40+Lbs, getting lean, and showing great definition!”

Ben, another beginner, said: “I’ve been delighted with the Program…. thoughtful and well-rounded!”

  • Beginner advantage #1: No bad habits to unlearn
  • Beginner advantage #2: Fastest initial gains
  • Beginner advantage #3: Most dramatic visible changes

The reframe: Starting “out of shape” means you’ll see the most dramatic transformation.

Where are you based?

I am mainly based in London, UK. But I love travelling, specifically backpacking our beautiful world and experiencing other cultures... So most likely I may be based on the side of a mountain or little beach hut. Perhaps I’ll even meet you in person at some point… That would be just awesome!
