Inverted Row with Bent Knee between Chairs
The chair inverted row with the knees bent and the feet flat; the legs share the load, making it the easiest way into rows at home.
How to do it
Setup
A sturdy stick across the backs of two heavy chairs, lying under it with the arms straight, knees bent, feet flat, hips up.
Steps
- Pull the chest to the stick with the hips staying up.
- Squeeze the shoulder blades at the top.
- Lower slowly with the hips still lifted.
Common mistakes
Chairs shifting under the pull: pull straight up and keep them heavy. Hips dropping: knees, hips and shoulders stay in one line. Pushing with the legs: the feet anchor, the back works.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale on the way down.
