March Maddness - TRX Style

Well, we have entered a new month, and with it brings a new challenge (along with the return of SPRING!!). We are basing this month's challenge off of the original TRX 40/40 drill. We did a trial run at the gym tonight, and I decided to modify the challenge to something more manageable for us.

The original TRX 40/40 challenge combines two signature TRX exercises we use to measure upper body and core strength: the TRX Atomic Push-Up and the TRX Low Row. It essentially tests your ability to complete 40 atomic push-ups and 40 low rows. The task is simple: do as many atomic push-ups as you can, take a 1 minute break, and then do as many low rows as you can.

Most of my clients haven't graduated to the atomic push-up yet or the true depth of the low row to complete 40/40. We will keep building up stamina over the next 3 weeks and see how much we improve. We are changing the exercises to the TRX Chest Press (as deep as you can handle) and the TRX low row (as low as you can handle). Our challenge will be a 40/15. I know that my clients will rock this out!! They'll be practcing lots of push-ups, planks, supermans, and side planks outside of the gym this month, which should yield some solid results in upper body & core strength.

For inspiration, here are the pro's demonstrating the original TRX 40/40 challenge:
