Inverted Row

A gym exercise performed by pulling one's body up using a barbell while hanging with hands more than shoulder width apart. It’s effective for working the back and core.

Instructions

• Set up a barbell in a power rack at waist height.
• Lie on the ground under the barbell.
• Reach up and grab the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width.
• Keep your body straight and pull your chest towards the bar.
• Lower your body back to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not keeping the body straight, resulting in a lack of core engagement.
• Using momentum to lift your body upwards rather than pulling with the back.
• Gripping the bar too narrowly, which can cause shoulder strain.
• Not controlling the descent, which can lead to injury.
