Hi dr. Gregg,

In the triathlon premium strength plans there are 2 upper body exercises – Single-Leg Row and Single-Leg Press – to be done with elastic bands.

If one doesn’t have access to elastic bands or to a pulley system, is TRX a good alternative?
I was thinking at TRX single leg row and TRX single leg press but don’t know if the desired effect is the same.

Any thoughts or input, please?
Marius

P.S.

I tried to put 2 links with exercises descriptions but seems that is not working.
Basically, is TRX row and TRX chest press standing with one leg slightly raised off the floor.

Hi Marius,

The desired effect will be different however not all is lost if you do TRX rows and TRX Push-ups, they are a fine substitution.

Best,
