Technique Stand with your left or right shoulder pointing in the same direction as the TRX anchor point. Have your arms straight out in front of you holding the bar in a vertical position with the strap coming from the top. This should require you to stabilize the bar by resisting the twist. From here you rotate the bar in a circular motion as if you were holding a flag. Advantages This requires considerable stabilization from your transverse abdominis, and enough strength and neuromuscular control to rotate the RIP Trainer. Faults Hold the Bar up as if you were trying to show a flag to a crowd of people. A fault is not holding the rip trainer up high, and a very common fault is not locking your elbows out. Scales To scale this move up and down you change the position of the hand that is pushing the bar up. The closer to the middle you position your hand, the harder it becomes. You can also move closer and further away from the anchor point. The closer the anchor point to begin with, the easier and vice versa.
