Description: Hold the handles of the TRX with your arms extended in front of you, elbows slightly bent. Slowly bend your elbows bringing your body forward, then push with your triceps to return to the initial position while controlling the movement.

Tips: Keep the body well aligned, avoid arching the back, and keep the elbows close to the body to effectively target the triceps.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or tilt your body further forward to increase resistance.
