Elevated Inverted Row between 3 Chairs
The chair inverted row with the heels up on the seat of a third chair, so the body hangs level; the hardest of the chair rows.
How to do it
Setup
A sturdy stick across the backs of two heavy chairs, heels on the seat of a third, body level, arms straight.
Steps
- Pull the chest to the stick, body level.
- Squeeze the shoulder blades together at the top.
- Lower yourself slowly to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Third chair sliding away: set it against a wall or on a rug that grips. Hips dropping below the heels: brace and squeeze the glutes. Pulling the chairs toward you: pull straight up.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale on the way down.
