How to do it

  1. Face away from the anchor in a plank with hands in the TRX handles.
  2. Hold a straight body line from head to heels, arms extended.
  3. Let your chest sink slightly as your shoulder blades pinch together.
  4. Push the handles apart and round your upper back to spread the blades.

The one cue that matters

Keep your elbows straight the whole time, the motion comes only from the shoulder blades.

Muscles worked
