TRX Workouts

Anyone have any good workout plans or similar for TRX bands? I tried to buy rings, but everything good was back ordered, so I’m going to start trying to use TRX, pull-up bar, medicine ball. TRX app has some decent stuff, but hoping someone here has some good stuff too.

The only real difference between TRX straps and rings is the anchor point. TRX straps REQUIRE an anchor point. Rings do not. So, you can do any exercise which give you an anchor point.
Curls
Pelican curls
Pushups
Flys
Tricep extensions
Pike pushups
And the like
ETA: I would do a push/pull split. It’s easier to do it that way

I have a TRX, and you can hit most of your major muscle groups pretty easily.
Chest: Flys, pushups with hands on TRX, pushups with feet in TRX (these are great for core).
Shoulders: Laterals, face pulls. This is one of the few areas it's a little tougher.
Back: Rows, and modified pullups if you shorten handles.
Biceps: curls.
Triceps: skullcrushers/extensions.
Quads: Split Squats holding the TRX handles for balance.
Hamstrings: Put your feet in the stirrups and do gliding leg curls.
Those are all effective for me. I haven't done TRX as a primary, but I would recommend a simple upper/lower split using giant sets.
Just pick an exercise for each part, then do a round of one after another. Pick a total # of sets for the week and calculate your workout lwngth from that.
Especially if you're not doing it long term, you can skimp on progressive overload a bit and just hit #'s.
With TRX, it helps me a lot to mentally focus on contracting the muscle group.

Agreed. Add to it constant tension and you can really get a nice burn.
