Inverted Row

To perform an inverted row with a simple at-home setup, start by securing a sturdy horizontal surface such as a broomstick or bar across two stable chairs, making sure it can support your body weight without shifting. Lie on your back beneath the bar with your legs extended and heels planted on the floor, then reach up and grasp the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width. Engage your core, squeeze your glutes, and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels as you pull your chest toward the bar by driving your elbows down and back. Pause briefly at the top, keeping your shoulder blades retracted, then lower yourself back down with control until your arms are fully extended. Maintain a rigid, plank-like body position throughout the movement, adjusting the height of the bar or bending your knees to make the exercise easier or harder as needed.
