A TRX row is a type of exercise that targets the muscles of the upper back, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and traps. It also engages the muscles of the arms, particularly the biceps. The TRX row is performed using TRX suspension straps, which are adjustable straps anchored to a stable structure, such as a bar or a sturdy frame.

Here’s how you can perform a TRX row:

1. Setup

• Adjust the TRX straps to an appropriate height. The higher the straps, the more challenging the exercise will be.
• Stand facing the anchor point and grab the handles with an overhand grip.
• Walk your feet forward, leaning back at a slight angle, and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.

2. Execution

• Start with your arms fully extended, pulling your body toward the anchor point by retracting your shoulder blades.
• Keep your body straight and engage your core to prevent sagging or arching.
• Pull your chest toward the handles, bringing your hands to the sides of your chest.
• Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.

3. Return

• Slowly lower your body back to the starting position while maintaining control.
• Keep tension on the straps throughout the entire range of motion.

4. Repeat

• Perform the desired number of repetitions.

The TRX row is a versatile exercise that can be adjusted to different difficulty levels by changing the angle of your body or feet. It’s an effective way to strengthen the muscles of the upper back and improve overall upper body strength. As with any exercise, it’s important to use proper form to avoid injury. If you’re new to TRX training or have any existing health concerns, consider consulting with a fitness professional or healthcare provider before incorporating TRX rows into your workout routine.
