#wackywednesday pt. 2 Inverted row progressions: the beginner stage involves using 1. bent knees to off-set your Bodyweight. Any pulling mechanism like a low stable bar, edge of a sturdy table etc. will do, or using suspension cables like I am. Once you've developed enough strength you can move up to using 2. straight parallel legs. With training once you've become comfortable in this variation you can then try using 3. The single-arm progression, first with knees bent (easier) and then with straight legs (harder). Finally you can try multiple variations like 4. the archer row, one of my favorites, to add more of a challenge to your stabilizer muscles (this is also a regression to the archer or typewriter pull-up). Again start with bent knees until you develop enough strength to do the straight-legged version. Also to add on: like most Bodyweight exercises this requires full body tension I.e. Keeping every muscle from shoulders down to be tense enough to allow the joints to "lock" into place, except where the appropriate pulling muscles are being used (upper back, biceps, rear deltoids etc). These are not movements you want to depend on momentum or "swinging" or you miss out on actually gaining the strength from the exercises. Tip: clinch the abs and glutes to lock the hips into place and that will eliminate any potential swing. This video was slightly sped up but control your reps and never rush the movements. Stay tuned for part 3 for other fun variations you can add to your workouts once you've mastered this exercise. #peace Oh yeah @afronautic & @young_papi_will You've been tagged✌️ #workhardtrainharder #beastmx #getfitstartliving #nyc #brooklyn #harlem #bodyweighttraining #back #pull #marklauren #puma @puma @mark_lauren_training @whthfitness
