How does the TRX Atomic Push-up differ from a traditional push-up in terms of muscle activation?
The TRX Atomic Push-up elevates the traditional push-up by integrating a core-intensive movement—knee tucks—at the top of the rep, using suspension straps. This added dynamic motion increases the demand on the core, especially the rectus abdominis and obliques. The instability of the TRX straps forces the stabilizing muscles in the shoulders, hips, and spine to activate more than they would in a floor-based push-up. Additionally, it places a greater load on the chest and triceps due to the deeper range of motion and required balance. With this compound movement, the TRX Atomic Push-up effectively turns a standard strength exercise into a full-body workout, engaging muscles in both the upper and lower body more intensively.
