Inverted RowsBarisan Terbalik
A horizontal pull using your bodyweight under a sturdy table or a low bar. It builds the back strength needed for pull-ups.
How to do it
Setup. Lie under a bar or table edge, grab it with straight arms, heels on the floor and body straight.
- Pull your chest up to the bar, leading with your elbows.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top.
- Lower until your arms are straight.
Most common mistake
Using a table that can tip. Test it with your weight first, or use a bar in a rack.
Coach's tip
Bend your knees to make it easier, raise your feet to make it harder.
