The inverted has a ton of benefits for every level fitness enthusiast. For example, the inverted row is great for beginners because it can help build a strong foundation of back muscle, while also improving the management of holding one&#039;s weight. Often times, the inverted row is a great progression towards working on mastering the pull-up. The experienced lifter can reap benefits from the inverted row because it&#039;s a fantastic movement for accruing extra pulling volume, and it can be useful for giving the joints a rest from heavy training. HOW TO INVERTED ROW 1. Position yourself under a barbell in a Smith machine or squat rack. The bar placement should reflect the part of the back you&#039;d like to train. Bar over or below the lower pecs = lats Bar over mid-upper pecs = upper back 2. Reach the arms up and make sure the bar is just barely out of reach to avoid making contact with the back in-between reps. 3. Grip the bar with a similar width that would be used for a barbell row. 4. Bring the hips off the ground into a neutral position, slightly contract the scapula, and initiate the row. 5. Drive the elbows to the ground and think &quot;lead with the chest&quot;. 6. Opt for a bar with a squat pad if you can, or aim to bring the chest as close to the bar with what&#039;s physically comfortable - it does not need to touch if there is no squat pad available. 7. Lower the body in a controlled fashion, maintain postures at the bottom, and repeat the process. ----- Thanks for checking out BarBend, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCcemTWTy4BGn0C9G0--vtBA?sub_confirmation=1 Also, check out some of our most popular videos: Best Cross Training Shoes: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ao0IfPmStLA Best Pre Workout Supplements: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9sePvCQUkXk Best Meal Replacements: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ii303DHLuBQ Pull-Ups vs Chin-Ups: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oqDpaZkfV0o\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bend your elbows and <a data-lasso-id=\"188561\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/inverted-row\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pull your chest towards the bar<\/a>, aiming to touch it the bar with your chest.
