Adjust TRX straps to full length and anchor securely. Stand facing the anchor point with feet shoulder-width apart, grab handles, and extend arms overhead into a Y shape with tension in the straps.
Inhale during descent and brace core; exhale during ascent.

Lower until thighs parallel to ground or deeper if form allows; arms fully extended overhead with elbows straight.
