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 Bicep 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.

Alright, now you’re got the TRX suspension training know-how, it’s time to get to it!

Hello, my friend… It’s my mission to help you build lean muscle and transform your body using just a suspension trainer 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 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 date, Fitness Freedom Athletes has helped over 8000+ transform their bodies (and lives!).

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!
