How to do the Exercise

Step 1: The handles should be suspended just above the waist. Thus, the TRX cables need to be hanged at an elevated point.

Step 2: The handles are grabbed using both palms ensuring that the palms are facing down.

Step 3: While maintaining your body in a straight line, you need to lean forward making a 50-degree angle with the floor.

Step 4: Your hands should be directly over the shoulder. This can be achieved by letting your hands in.

Step 5: Arms are extended out and upwards.

Step 6: This motion is repeated for the number of reps that is set.


  • The difficulty of exercise execution can be done by performing a more acute angle lean leaning your body.
  • The core needs to be kept tight.


The TRX Tricep Extension is also an alternative and calisthenics exercise. The primarily focus is the triceps. The secondary aim is the development of muscles in the forearms, shoulders, biceps, and calves.

This exercise primarily uses the TRX Suspension. Examples of variations that can be incorporated in the TRX Tricep Extension exercise are Overhead Tricep Extension, Single-Arm Overhead Tricep Extension, and E-Z Bar Overhead Tricep Extension.
