Exercise Description

The inverted row builds upper body pulling strength and muscle. It targets your lats, middle back, and biceps while being easier than pull-ups.

How To

1. Set up a barbell in a squat rack at about chest height when lying underneath 2. Lie under the bar and grab it with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart 3. Keep your body straight from head to heels, with only your heels touching the ground 4. Pull your chest to the bar by squeezing your shoulder blades together for the inverted row 5. Lower yourself back down with control to complete the inverted row movement

Form Tips

• Keep your body in a straight line throughout the entire inverted row movement • Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of each rep • Don't let your hips sag or pike up during the exercise • Pull your chest to the bar, not your neck or chin

Common Mistakes

• Letting your hips sag creates poor form and reduces inverted row effectiveness • Pulling with your arms instead of initiating the inverted row with your back muscles • Not maintaining a straight body line from head to heels throughout the movement
