Today’s workout made my arms feel like Jello!
I had Ryan take a few minutes to show me two different moves on the TRX and incorporated them into my upper body workout.
I did TRX bicep curls…

And TRX tricep extensions…

The stabilization required to do these moves definitely worked my arms out in a new way and I liked them a lot! I would love to incorporate the TRX into my workouts more often and plan to research more exercises to try and have Ryan show me a few more.
In the end my upper body workout included the following exercises:
- Superset one: Push ups + Bicep curls
- Superset two: Mac raises + TRX bicep curls
- Superset three: TRX tricep extensions + Upright rows
- Superset four: Overhead press + Lat pull downs
- Superset five: Chest press + tricep extensions
- Ryan’s awesome shoulder move
Breakfast
Today’s breakfast was a new take on a typical egg sandwich.
I topped a toasted whole wheat English muffin with Tribe Mediterranean Hummus, avocado slices and a fried egg.
I feel like this is a sandwich that would be a great breakfast, lunch or dinner sandwich. Multipurpose!
And now it’s time to make lunch! Lunchtime totally snuck up on me today and it feels kind of funny to be posting about breakfast when I’m really just thinking about my next meal.
Questions of the Morning
- Have you ever tried using TRX straps? If not, do they intrigue you at all? If so, do you know of any specific exercises I should try?

Love TRX. I take a class at my gym, but they only allow members to use the bands in class or while being trained…which is stupid IMO. Triceps extensions on those straps are amazing! I like pikes and push ups as well!
No TRX at my gym, but I would be afraid. My upper body strength I think has increased, but it was nothing before. Ever since I was kid, it’s been that way. I would try it but would need a spotter or gym mat so I don’t fall down and go boom 🙂
Loooooove TRX classes. Though, my gym doesn’t offer classes, and I haven’t found one near me either. I need to find one that does.
Hey Julie! So this is a completely old post I know, but once I again I got lost amongst your posts through the magical “you may also like” lol! I own a TRX too and have been using it for the past 3 years…it’s so amazing! If you ever feel like taking a stab at it again, try ‘sprinter starts’ and ‘pistol squats’…you will die! There is so much you can do with a TRX! I try to get in a TRX circuit once every week or two and usually post the circuit on my blog!
I love TRX! In fact I love it so much I bought the home version. It’s a pretty reasonible price and was an excellent buy!
