Coaching Tips:
- Maintain body alignment throughout the entire 15/30 workout.
- Do not lead with your hips or extend your lower back.
- Do not use momentum to lift your body. Keep the movement controlled.
- Lift your toes off the ground through the workout to ensure your legs are not taking some of the load.
- Keep tension on the TRX while at the top of each exercise. Never allow slack in the TRX straps.
- When performing the TRX Y Deltoid Fly, keep shoulders neutral with your thumbs pointing behind you. This minimizes any potential shoulder impingement irritation.
- When performing the TRX Low Row, keep your wrists straight and pull far enough to bring your wrists parallel to your ribs.
- Try to maintain a proper mind-muscle connection so you can exercise every muscle group, such as the lats.
Progressions and Regressions:
- You can quickly adjust the difficulty of both the TRX Y Deltoid Fly and TRX Low Row by moving your feet closer or further away from the anchor point.
- For weaker individuals, the rep scheme can be adjusted to 5/10, 10/20.
- Always try to progress to the full 15/30 workout protocol.
- Perform one to three sets per workout with one to two minute rest in between.
