The TRX Hamstring hold is not shown in this video as this is the glute bridge hold. The TRX hamstring isometric is the same position as shown above just with the legs straightened. Its difficulty can be modulated through the positioning of the feet/legs. If the legs are straight it’s most challenging, the closer the feet get to the hips the easier the exercise gets. If the feet arrive at the position they are in in the video above the exercise will predominately work the glutes, but for beginners this may also challenge the hamstrings.
