Common TRX Bicep Curl mistakes
What goes wrong most often when you do the TRX Bicep Curl, and how to fix it.
Your hips sink and your body stops forming a line.
Squeeze your glutes and abs so your shoulders, hips and ankles move together like a plank.
Your elbows drop and the exercise turns into a row.
Keep your elbows high, pointing at the anchor, and bring your hands toward your forehead.
The straps are slack at the start and your body drops suddenly.
Start with your arms extended and the straps taut. Lower with control.
