TRX Flys used to drive me crazy as I could never quite ‘feel’ it working the chest. I used to think increasing the angle to make them harder was right. It wasn’t. However, when I focused on these 2 technique points, my chest muscles grew and became stronger…
When I stopped looking to make it harder and instead made it easier, focusing on the top mindful SQUEEZE connection and bottom stretch (BIG ranges of motion)…
It felt awesome and a light bulb went ting!
If like me you struggle with TRX Flys? Try these two tips:
TIP 1:
- Focus on bringing the elbows together at the top with straight arms.
- Really push them together and feel how much more extra SQUEEZE you can achieve.
- Why? The chest muscles work to bring the arms across the body too. We keep tension on the chest muscle by doing this.
- We lose tension on the chest muscle if we focus on bringing the knuckles together, arms bent.
Try it now as you are and compare the SQUEEZE.
TIP 2:
- Really stretch and open up the chest at the bottom.
- Stay there and feel that burn as the stretch increases. Then contract (squeeze) up.
- In my experience, this is where and when the results really happen. With BIG rages of motion from stretched to powerfully contracted.
Let’s get to it!
