How to do the Inverted Row with Straps
- 1
Hang a rope or suspension straps from a rack or other stable object. Grasp the ends and position yourself in a supine position hanging from the ropes. Your body should be straight with your heels on the ground with your arms fully extended. This will be your starting position.
- 2
Begin by flexing the elbow, pulling your chest to your hands. Retract your shoulder blades as you perform the movement.
- 3
Pause at the top of the motion, and return yourself to the start position.
- 4
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
