Exercise Description

The bent knee inverted row builds your middle back strength while being easier than pull-ups. Perfect for beginners who want to master pulling movements.

How To

1. Set a barbell in a squat rack at about hip height 2. Lie under the bar and grab it with an overhand grip, arms fully extended 3. Bend your knees to 90 degrees with feet flat on the floor for the bent knee inverted row starting position 4. Pull your chest up to the bar by squeezing your shoulder blades together 5. Lower yourself back down with control to complete one bent knee inverted row rep

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire bent knee inverted row movement • Pull with your back muscles, not just your arms • Don't let your hips sag during the bent knee inverted row • Squeeze your shoulder blades at the top of each rep

Common Mistakes

• Using only arm strength instead of engaging your back muscles during the bent knee inverted row • Letting your body swing or use momentum instead of controlled movement • Not maintaining proper bent knee inverted row position with sagging hips
