Inverted Rows - (45 Degree)
Dallas Personal Trainer - A fantastic version of rows that incorporates bodyweight as resistance which gives the exerciser the opportunity to improve his/her performance of the exercise in 2 ways:
It has become more common for a Dallas personal trainer to use this exercise in the last few years which is great because it helps the shoulder girdle pull back into proper posture and helps trainees learn to use their own bodyweight as resistance.
To perform this exercise, use a barbell racked on a squat rack. Lean your body back at about a 45-degree angle by grabbing onto the bar and putting your feet out in front of you. Keep your body in a perfectly straight line from head to toe and let your arms fully extend as you hang back.
Once you are set, pull yourself up with your arms, lats, and upper back muscles until your chest touches the bar. Do not let your shoulders shrug as you pull yourself up. Lower yourself under the control of the muscles and repeat. Once these become too easy for the specified rep range, you can begin to lean back lower than 45 degrees by setting the bar at a lower level on the squat rack. As you get stronger, continue to lower the bar and the angle of your body until you are eventually performing Inverted Rows (horizontal).
As always, we do not recommend performing any exercise without the supervision of a highly qualified Dallas personal trainer. This exercise description is for informational purposes only. Consult your doctor before attempting any workout program or attempting this exercise or any other exercise on this website.
