Beginner to Intermediate TRX Chest and Triceps Workout 1

This is a good chest and triceps workout that you can knock out relatively quickly (about 15 min.) with just a TRX (I use a Woss Trainer: http://www.woss.com/woss-trainers/) and a flat piece of ground.

3 rounds with 1:00 rest between exercises and rounds:

  • 20 Pushups
  • 15 TRX Chest Presses
  • 10 TRX Flyes
  • 5 1-arm TRX Pushups

Simple! After completing this circuit I threw this in for a little extra triceps work (also 1:00 rest between sets):

  • 3 sets of 15 TRX Skullcrushers*
*I have a hammer-grip accessory on my Woss trainer that I like to use for these

Remember: When it comes to the TRX, the difficulty of  each exercise is based on the angle of your body in relation to the floor (i.e. if you lean forward more, it will be more difficult) Also, don't cheat yourself on the pushups! Lower your body until your shoulder joints are parallel or lower than your elbow joints and fully lockout your elbows at the top.
