Exercise Spotlight – Inverted Row

8/23/2019

 
Picture
The inverted row should be a staple in any gym routine. It is essentially the exact opposite of a pressup and works the upper back and arms pretty hard while you maintain a nice rigid body position. Like any exercise that involves lifting your bodyweight, the inverted row has quite a decent level of strength required before you can even do one, let alone use it to get stronger. There are variations though normally involving suspension straps but equally can be performed on the set up showing. These normally have your feet on the ground and can have knees bent so that you are at less of an angle rather than the parallel version shown. It is very simple to perform and brings some much needed balance to your routine to go along with all the pressing. It helps strengthen the upper back and postural muscles which are often overstretched and neglected.
Exercise Suitability:
Beginners: ✔️
Advanced: ✔️
 
What are the key technique points?
  • Set up in a strong active plank style position with your abs braced and good alignment from head to toe, make sure that your sternum is directly under the bar.
  • Initiate the movement by retracting and depressing (pulling back and down) your shoulder blades to lift your chest.
  • Pull yourself up, keeping your elbows tucked in and maintain that alignment from head to toe.
  • Slowly lower yourself under control, keeping full body tension to start again.
If you'd like to have some in person coaching then I have a range of options available in Glasgow from private 1 2 1 training, group training and even weight training technique workshops. You can view the options by clicking here.
