We’re not going to the toilet at the start. We’re squeezing those ab muscles to mindfully engage them, taking that same mindful squeeze into the below ab exercises…
1. ABS
5 mins non-stop rotation to fail:
TRX JACKKNIFE
TRX TWISTS
TRX KNEES TO CHEST
- Squeeze and stretch the ab muscles before and after to help force blood into them
- Slow-twitch fibres = take it slow 4sec down, 4 sec up, 4sec hard squeeze at top
2. BACK
2 sets, 8-10reps, 2nd set to failure:
TRX LOW ROW superset with TRX HIGH ROW
- Squeeze and stretch the muscles after each set
- 40 sec rest between supersets
- Stretch the muscles out at the bottom. We’re aiming for a big range of motion, lengthened state to short contracted state. SQUEEEEZE!
- LOW ROW: Drive elbows back and down by the body
- HIGH ROW: Drive elbows out, up and back
- 1 sec up, 2sec top squeeze, 4sec down to stretch
3. BICEPS
2 sets, 8-10reps, 2nd set to failure:
TRX HAMMER CURLS superset with TRX REVERSE CURLS
- Squeeze and stretch after each set
- 40 sec rest between supersets
- Contract the tricep at the bottom to lengthen the bicep = bigger range of motion.
- Twist the pinky up and the thumb down at the top on both exercises to engage the short peak of the bicep
- 1 sec up, 2sec squeeze, 4sec down to tricep contract
