Suspension Trainer Powerpress Instructions

  1. Attach the suspension trainer to a secure anchor point above your head.
  2. Stand facing away from the anchor point, feet shoulder-width apart.
  3. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
  4. Lean forward, extending your arms straight in front of you at shoulder height.
  5. Engage your core and lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides.
  6. Lower your body until your chest is almost parallel to the ground.
  7. Push through your palms, extending your arms to return to the starting position.

Suspension Trainer Powerpress Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the Powerpress exercise. Engage your abdominal muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine, creating a solid foundation for maximum power and control.
  2. When performing the chest press variation, imagine squeezing your pectoral muscles together as you push your body away from the suspension trainer. Visualize your chest muscles contracting and working hard to move your body weight, enhancing the effectiveness of the exercise.
  3. For optimal bicep engagement during the Powerpress exercise, keep your elbows tucked in close to your sides as you perform the bicep curl motion. This ensures that the focus remains on your biceps, preventing unnecessary strain on your shoulders or back.
  4. As you lower your body towards the suspension trainer in the chest press, aim to achieve a full range of motion by allowing your chest to come close to the handles. This deep stretch activates more muscle fibers in your chest, leading to greater strength gains and improved muscle definition.
  5. Remember to breathe deeply and rhythmically throughout the exercise, inhaling on the eccentric phase (lowering) and exhaling on the concentric phase (lifting). This controlled breathing not only provides your muscles with the oxygen they need for optimal performance but also helps you stay focused and in tune with your body.
