How to do it

  1. Set your feet in the TRX straps and get into a high plank.
  2. Brace your core and stack your shoulders over your hands.
  3. Lift your hips straight up toward the ceiling into a pike.
  4. Lower back to the flat plank under control.

The one cue that matters

Keep your legs straight and drive the pike from your abs, not momentum.

Muscles worked

The TRX Pike isolates the Core — no passengers. That makes it a clean tool for adding targeted core volume without extra fatigue.
