Bodyweight Row in Doorway

Holding the edge of a door frame with both hands, lean back on straight arms and row the chest back to it; the steeper you lean, the harder the row.

How to do it

Setup

Facing the edge of a door frame, both hands gripping it at chest height, feet close to its base, leaning back on straight arms.

Steps

  1. Pull the chest to the frame, elbows driving back past the ribs.
  2. Squeeze the shoulder blades together.
  3. Lean back to straight arms under control.

Common mistakes

Feet slipping away: set them close to the frame on a floor that grips. Hips folding back: keep one line from heels to head. Grip letting go at the bottom: lean only as far as you can hold.

Breathing

Exhale on the pull, inhale on the way down.
