TRX Exercises
Today I’m going to show you a few cool exercises you can do with the TRX Straps. Everyone knows by now that I am a huge fan of heavy, traditional exercises like squats and deadlifts, but for years I have always preached the value of bodyweight exercises and moving your body through space. This elicits a higher level of neuromuscular activation and helps you build muscle and develop strength faster. Most of my workouts include some kind of big heavy barbell or dumbbell lift and a bodyweight exercise (or two, or three), often done with the TRX Straps.
TRX Exercise #1: Bicep Curls
TRX Exercise #2: Triceps Extensions
TRX Exercise #3: Inverted Rows
TRX Exercise #4: Low Ab Pull In’s

Comments on TRX Exercises
You’ve been busy, Jason – good clear videos and add-ins super. Well done!!
Cool, I wonder, if we’re talking about triceps would these exercises be more effective than push ups?
been really interested in the TRX Straps but it seems would definetly need to be taught some of the more total body exercises. But I saw the video that Alywn and John Beradi filmed and tested and really like the workout scheme they put together.
How hard to learn get used to Jason???
Thx good news exercises. I will put into practice.
Stay strong!
I need a meal plan
Is there any difference between TRX straps and Jungle Gym straps from Lifeline other than price?
Nice videos…
good exercises.. i’ll definately putthem into practice….
Well done…!!!
Interesting concept and a few well-respected trainers are using and touting them. But how much is it just wanting to sell something else versus offering a real benefit that you cannot get from “regular” exercise?
a little Rollins Band never hurts!
Yo Jay good stuff but I was wondering something whatever happened to u using blast straps. It seems youre all about TRX straps now. I have blast straps Ive had them for a couple years now. I got them from hearing u talk about them and there awesome. Im wondering do think TRX are better because youre using them instead of the blasters.
Thanks Jay
P.s. I do blast strap push ups with a 92 lb kid sitting on my shoulders.
I think the main benefot of TRX compared to blast straps is that you can easily place your feet in the hooks — the blast straps seem more suited for upper body only (?)
Yea JD I noticed that. It also appears that the TRX straps are more adjustable than the blast straps. You cant really bring them up too high like for doing dips with a dip belt on.
Sam,
Nothing will ever replace pushups and dips. This is just another good bodyweight exercise to add in some variety.
Shib,
They are easy as could be to use.
Gino,
They are very similar and there are positives and negatives to both. With the Jungle Gym straps you can buy the two separate ones and move them far apart which is of great benefit to the stronger lifter. The TRX Straps are a little higher quality and easier to quickly set up wherever you are.
Jonathan,
Blast straps are my personal favorites for pushups. The benefit of the TRX Straps is that they adjust very rapidly, have the foot straps and are light enough to travel with.
Bill,
There is nothing fancy or groundbreaking about this. The first Mr. Olympia, Larry Scott, was doing pushups, rows, flyes, etc on gymnastics rings many, many years ago. He was the first one that introduced me to this concept and I have used these exercises with all of my clients for over 15 years. Bodyweight exercises will always be a staple in any effective training program. TRX Straps, blast straps and the Jungle Gym just make them all a little easier and more effective and allow for some variety.
No quick money making scam about that.
hi,
thank you for this good exercises .
but I want to give you note that this exercises need a good trainer because in that degree you will pull or push the half of your weight may will cause spasm or strain.
thank you for you attention
PT.Ahmad Alrousan
well we can understand easily with these videos. I will be gateful to U if U send like these videos to me & all.
I bought some TRX straps because I frequent this site. I prefer inverted strap rows to bent over rows because it is a break from loading my lower back.
Ahmad. I think the position of your feet, or whatever fulcrum for the exercise you are doing, can make most exercises easier. Spasms and strain might mean that a person needs to work from the easiest position first.
I love these straps. Well worth the money.
Jason, I got a question for you: how do you compare the TRX straps with adjustable gymnastics rings?
