Exercise Profile

Suspension Trainer Push-up Overview

The suspension trainer push-up workout is designed to primarily target the chest muscles using a suspension trainer.

The workout involves performing push-ups while holding onto the suspension trainer handles, which adds instability and increases the intensity.

While the workout also engages secondary muscles like the shoulders and triceps, the focus remains on developing a strong and defined chest.

  4. Lower your chest towards the handles by bending your elbows, keeping your body straight and core engaged.
  5. Push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Suspension Trainer Push-up Tips

  1. Start with proper setup: Adjust the suspension trainer to chest height, ensuring equal strap lengths.
  2. Engage your core: Maintain a straight line from head to heels throughout the exercise.
  3. Focus on chest activation: Squeeze your chest muscles as you lower your body towards the ground.
  4. Control the movement: Lower yourself slowly and push back up with controlled force.
  5. Vary hand positions: Experiment with wider or narrower hand placements to target different areas of the chest.
  6. Progress gradually: Increase difficulty by elevating your feet or adding a weight vest once you have mastered the basic form.
