How to do the TRX Bicep Clutch

  1. Adjust your suspension trainer: Start by adjusting your suspension trainer to an appropriate length, securing it above you to a stable anchor point.

  2. Prepare to start: Stand facing the anchor point and grab the handles with your palms facing up, arms fully extended. Step backward until there is tension on the suspension straps. Lean back slightly, keeping your body straight and core engaged, heels planted on the ground. This is your starting position.

  3. Perform the curl: Keeping your elbows up and stationary, pull the handles towards your shoulders by flexing your biceps. Your body should remain straight and only your arms should move.

  4. Squeeze at the top: Continue the curling movement until your hands are close to your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.

  5. Return to start: Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position, fully extending them while still maintaining tension on the suspension system.

  6. Repeat: Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Tips: Keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels throughout the exercise. Adjust the difficulty by walking your feet closer to (easier) or further from (harder) the anchor point, as the angle of your body changes the resistance. Make sure to keep tension on the suspension straps throughout the entire exercise to avoid unnecessary stress on your joints.
