TRX Chest Press to Roll-Out

1. Setup:

   • Attach the suspension trainer to a sturdy anchor point at about waist height. Ensure it is secure.

   • Adjust the length of the straps as needed so that the handles are roughly at chest level when you are in position.

2. Starting Position:

   • Stand facing away from the anchor point with the suspension trainer handles in each hand.

   • Grab the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).

   • Walk forward until your body is at a slight angle to the ground, with your feet together and your body in a straight line from head to heels.

   • Keep your core engaged, shoulders relaxed, and back straight.

3. The Chest Press:

   • Inhale and bend your elbows to lower your body towards the handles.

   • Keep your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body and press your body away from the handles as you exhale, extending your arms back to the starting position.

   • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles at the top of the movement.

4. Transition to Rollout:

   • After completing the chest press, maintain a firm grip on the handles.

   • Slowly roll your body forward by extending your arms, allowing your body to lean forward while keeping a straight line from your head to heels.

   • Continue rolling out until you feel tension in your core, ideally stopping when your body is at about a 45-degree angle to the ground.

5. Return to Start:

   • Engage your core and pull yourself back to the starting position by bending your elbows and dragging your body back up to the starting angle.

   • Return to the upright position by performing another chest press.

6. Repetitions:

   • Aim for 8-12 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.

Tips for Beginners:

• If this exercise feels too challenging, adjust the angle of your body to make it easier by standing closer to the anchor point.

• Ensure that your movements are controlled; avoid using momentum to perform the exercises.

• Focus on your form and maintain a straight line during both the chest press and rollout portions to maximize effectiveness and minimize injury risk.
