Bodyweight Rope Inverted Row
The inverted row holding two ropes that hang from a high bar, leaning back with the heels down; the thick, swinging ropes load the grip beside the back.
How to do it
Setup
A rope in each hand, arms straight, leaning back with the heels planted and the body in one line.
Steps
- Pull the chest up to the hands, elbows driving back.
- Squeeze the shoulder blades together at the top.
- Lower to straight arms, gripping the ropes hard all the way.
Common mistakes
Hands sliding down the ropes: squeeze them and set the grip before each rep. Ropes swaying apart: pull them in line with the chest. Hips sagging: brace and keep the body straight.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale on the way down.
