Inverted Row with Straps
The inverted row on suspension straps: the body hangs nearly level under the anchor, heels on the floor, and rows the chest up to the handles.
How to do it
Setup
Lying under two straps hung from a high bar, a handle in each hand on straight arms, heels on the floor, body straight.
Steps
- Row the chest up to the handles, elbows close to the sides.
- Squeeze for a beat.
- Lower to straight arms with the body in one line.
Common mistakes
Hips dropping out of the line: brace the glutes; heels to shoulders stay straight. Straps swinging apart: keep the handles under the shoulders all the way. Stopping short of the handles: finish with the chest at the hands.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
