Inverted Underhand-Grip Row between Chairs
The chair inverted row with the palms turned toward you on the stick; the underhand grip keeps the elbows close and adds the biceps.
How to do it
Setup
A sturdy stick across the backs of two heavy chairs, lying under it with an underhand grip shoulder-width, legs straight, heels down.
Steps
- Pull the chest to the stick, elbows close to the ribs.
- Squeeze the shoulder blades together.
- Lower yourself slowly to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Curling the stick toward the face: drive the elbows back and lift the chest. Chairs tipping inward: pull straight up and use heavy chairs. Hips sagging: squeeze the glutes.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale on the way down.
