Electromyographic analysis reveals how different angles in TRX push-ups affect muscle activation.
TRX push-ups at higher inclinations (+ 30° to 0°) effectively target the pectoralis major, while lower angles (- 30°) preferentially increase activation of the anterior deltoid, triceps brachii, upper trapezius, and serratus anterior. These findings provide angle-specific recommendations for suspension training push-ups to optimize muscle activation patterns.
