DRILLS TO TRAIN THE UPPER BODY

In every training session we have to take into consideration that training the upper body is as important as training the lower body. If a planning is only focused either in the upper body or the lower body the benefits of training TRX will be decreased.

Taking into account these previous aspects you will see what kind of drills are the most recommendable in case you want to train the upper body .

Then I will show some drills of the upper body divided into different muscles.

The back:

-Row with little inclination

-Row with two hands

-Row with only one hand

-Opening the shoulders without opening very much the elbows

-Row closed

-The “T” one of the most demanding drills. This position consists of starting with the arms outstretched to the front and using the back you have to be able to complete the final position straight and with the arms crossed. During the recovery movement  the elbows can complete a slight flexion.

-The “Y” is very similar to T, but in the final position instead of being with the arms crossed it must be with the arms outstretched and a little bit higher trying to draw a “Y” with the body. During these drills is important to keep the abs very strong because if not lumbar hyperlordosis could apper and it would be extremely harmful for the body.

Pectoral:

-Simple press

-Press with using only the left leg

-Press using only the right leg

-Press with only one arm

Arms:

-Biceps curl

-Curl to the right side

-Curl to the left side

-Triceps press

All these drills are very important but in case you want to to train the upper body. The intensity, speed and number of repetitions can vary depending on the level.
