The Inverted Row Bent Knees exercise is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the muscles in the upper back, shoulders, and arms. It is a great exercise for improving upper body strength and endurance.
How to perform
To perform the Inverted Row Bent Knees exercise, follow these steps:1. Find a sturdy horizontal bar or a suspension trainer at about waist height, such as a Smith machine or TRX straps.
2. Lie on your back underneath the bar or suspension trainer with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
3. Grab the bar or suspension trainer with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
4. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.
5. Pull your chest towards the bar by bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Keep your elbows close to your sides throughout the movement.
6. Lower yourself back down to the starting position with control, fully extending your arms.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
To increase the difficulty of the exercise, you can adjust the angle of your body by walking your feet closer to the bar or suspend the trainer for a more challenging variation.
