TRX Resisted Rotation 2
The TRX Resisted Rotation 2 is a functional core exercise that builds rotational strength and oblique definition using suspension straps. By standing perpendicular to the anchor point and rotating against resistance, you target the entire midsection while improving stability and balance.
Since rotational strength often varies between sides, the AI analyzes your performance data to detect and correct left-to-right muscle imbalances. By monitoring your daily recovery stats and previous core workload, the app optimizes the resistance and volume to build oblique power without overstraining your lower back. If you have a history of spinal issues, the system can automatically suggest isometric alternatives like Pallof presses based on your profile.
Form Cues
- Stand perpendicular to the anchor point with feet shoulder-width apart
- Keep your arms fully extended and chest lifted throughout the movement
- Initiate the rotation from your hips and torso
- Maintain constant tension on the TRX straps
- Pivot on your back foot as you rotate away from the anchor
- Don't bend your elbows or pull with your biceps
- Don't let the TRX straps go slack at any point
- Don't twist your spine without pivoting your hips
- Don't hunch your shoulders or round your upper back
- Don't use momentum to swing into the rotation
Common Mistakes
- Bending elbows during rotation
- Rotating only the shoulders
- Allowing slack in the straps
- Planting feet without pivoting
- Rushing the return movement
Muscles Worked
This movement primarily targets the internal and external obliques, which are crucial for rotational power and twisting movements. It also engages the rectus abdominis and transverse abdominis for spinal stability, while the shoulders and upper back work isometrically to maintain arm position.
