Suspension trainers are one of the most versatile and efficient tools for building strength. This is perhaps most apparent in the TRX Chest Flye. As a controlled movement, the chest flye is among the best ways to isolate the peck muscles and increase chest strength.
Standard dumbbell flyes are great, but the suspension version of the lift gives you the opportunity to work muscles you normally wouldn't work. It's important to mix things up to keep your muscles working hard.
Do not use explosive movements. The TRX Chest Flye is a controlled exercise, which means your muscles will be engaged throughout the entire lift. This is great for building stability and balance in core while developing the pecks.
Use the TRX Chest Flye in conjunction with the other TRX exercises below.
-
- Step 1: Grasp the handles with each hand, palms facing each other. Start in the up position with your legs at a position that's comfortable for you.
-
- Step 2: Lean forward while holding your body upright, spine and neck in neutral position.
-
- Step 3: With your abs and pecks tight and elbows slightly bent, open your arms to form a T with your body.
-
- Step 4: In a slow and controlled movement, return to the up position, squeeze the muscles and touch your hands together.
** Pro Tip #1: Don't twist your arms during the exercise.
** Pro Tip #2: To start, complete this exercise with 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps.
