TRX T Raise

Setup

Hold the TRX handles, walk the feet forward, and recline into a straight-body plank position.

Execution

1. 1Keep the body rigid throughout
2. 2Reach the arms straight out to the sides into a 'T' shape, pulling the shoulder blades together
3. 3Keep the shoulders down, away from the ears
4. 4Return under control to the starting position

Key cues

• Arms straight out to the sides, forming a T
• Squeeze the shoulder blades together at the top
• Keep the body plank rigid
• Control both the raise and the return

Common faults

• Bending the arms into a row instead of a straight-arm raise
• Losing core tightness, letting the hips sag
• Shrugging the shoulders instead of retracting the blades
• Standing too close to the anchor, reducing the training stimulus

Tweaks

• Step farther back for a harder angle
• Combine into the full Y-T-W sequence
• Add a brief isometric hold at the top

Muscles

Notes

Described as the easiest entry drill of the Y-T-W sequence — a good starting point before progressing to the Y and W variants.
