RichRuff Training Exercise of the Week: Inverted Row

Going off last week's exercise of the week, I'm going to give you another exercise using the Jungle Gym or Blast Straps. If they're up, you might as well use them. And this exercise is going to balance out your push ups. When designing a program or workout out you should strive for some sort of balance. The volume of pulling exercises should equal the volume of pushing exercises. Even more importantly, the volume of horizontal pulling exercises should equal the volume of horizontal pushing exercises.
For the inverted row, you're basically going to reverse your position and movement of the suspended push up. You'll start face up underneath the handles. The closer you are to a horizontal position, the more difficult the exercise will be. From the starting position, pull yourself towards the handles, bringing your elbows by your side and emphasizing a squeeze of the shoulder blades.
Another body weight exercise to add to your training arsenal.
