STACK Challenge: TRX Upper-Body Blaster
Every week, a new STACK Challenge gives you an opportunity to test your athletic ability and win a STACK T-shirt. Take the challenge and enter to win by tweeting your results with #STACKChallenge.
Although the TRX Suspension Trainer uses nothing more than your body weight for resistance, it can provide some truly brutal workouts. If you need proof, just try the 40/40 Challenge.
Complete the 40/40 Challenge by doing as many TRX Atomic Push-Ups as possible, followed immediately by TRX Rows. The challenge ends if you rest by touching the floor or standing up.
TRX Atomic Push-Up
- Adjust the straps to 6-12 inches off the ground
- Assume the push-up position and put your feet in the straps
- Tuck your knees to your chest, straighten them back out and do a Push-Up
- Keep your body straight during the Push-Ups. If you start sagging, you’re done
TRX Row
- Adjust the straps to belly-button height
- Stand under the TRX anchor, hold the straps and lean back
- Pull your chest to your hands, then lower all the way back down
- Keep your body straight
The Challenge
Do as many TRX Atomic Push-Ups and Rows as possible without resting.
How Do You STACK Up?
Rookie: 25-29 reps of each exercise
Pro: 30-39 reps
All-Star: 40+ reps
How to Win a STACK T-Shirt
- Complete the challenge by Aug. 10
- Follow STACK on Twitter (@stackmedia)
- Tweet your results as Atomic Push-Ups/Rows. So if you completed 35 Push-Ups and 40 Rows, you’d tweet 35/40. To qualify, your tweet must include #STACKChallenge
Congratulations to @twhitey13 for winning a STACK T-shirt by completing last week’s Plate Push Challenge.
