There’s a lot of fun to be had when using a TRX to train the arms…

You can gain well-developed biceps and triceps using time under tension and technique. And a suspension trainer is a perfect tool to do that because it works with your individual biomechanics, not against them.

When performing TRX arms exercises don’t lose tension on the muscle by going too far down or locking out to rest. Instead, focus on keeping the muscles squeezed and under tension.

This will force blood into the muscles and create muscle breakdown. To rebuild stronger…

Progression & Development

I get great development and progression using a TRX suspension trainer because I focus on ‘muscle-centric technique’ and key exercise principles…

All of which I cover in the below videos at a beginner level. Right then, let’s get into The 9 best TRX arms exercises.

1. TRX Bicep Curl

TRX exercise for biceps (correct technique bicep curls)

The time under tension I feel when doing these is greater than anything I’ve felt from dumbbells. Focus on squeezing your biceps to create the movement and allow your head to pass between the TRX at the top.

2. TRX Hammer Curls

TRX exercise for arms (correct technique Hammer Curls)

Target the secondary head of the bicep aiding in developing width and length. Great to transform your arms into an aesthetic lean shape.

3. TRX Tricep Dips

The BEST TRX exercise for lean, toned arms

Not only is this a great exercise to transform your arms. But the stability created by your shoulder stabilising muscles also develops a stable shoulder girdle.

4. TRX Tricep Hammer Extension

TRX exercise for triceps (correct technique extension)

These focus on the tricep size and length targeting it from a different angle.

5. Skull Crusher

TRX exercise for triceps (correct technique Skull Crusher)

I love the secondary muscle and core stability incorporation on these. Again, a ton of bang for your buck. Focus on squeezing your triceps to create the movement.

6. TRX One Hand Bicep Curl

One Arm TRX Bicep Curl for developing lean-shaped arms

Performing this exercise within the strength range of 3-5 reps, focusing on a full range of movement with slow controlled technique will give your arms shape and definition.

7. Bicep Pull

Sculpt your arms with this TRX Bicep Pull

Changing the typical TRX curl up a little bit in this video to target the peak contraction of the bicep. I love how much you can focus on squeezing the biceps and really feel them contracting with this variation, great for placing the arm under a different intensity at the top end of the strength curve.

8. TRX Reverse Curls

Build arm width and leanness using TRX Reverse Curls

In my opinion, the brachialis muscle is underrated and undertrained. In this video I explain the benefits of how it can give your arms a lean, muscular look and how to target and achieve that correctly with TRX Reverse Curls

9. TRX Sevens

Build and develop your BICEPS with TRX Sevens

I love this TRX exercise because it targets the bicep muscle across the entire strength curve range meaning well-developed and shaped arms. Here’s why and how to execute it correctly.

Feel The Burn!

Give this triceps giant set a go for huge burn and development. This giant set is simple but very effective for challenging your entire arms. Hitting every muscle of the triceps.

Hello, my friend… I help busy professionals build lean muscle and transform their bodies from home-with a TRX suspension trainer or resistance band, and simple 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 busy professionals 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 transform you body from home… so you never need to rely on gyms, diet fads, or anyone else’s schedule.
