Inverted Row June 3, 2026 If you want a solid upper back exercise, this is a good one. The inverted row works the lats, upper back, and pulling strength. I like it for posture, shoulder balance, and as a good complement to pressing work. Set up with a fixed bar around belly-button height. Take a grip just outside the shoulders. Walk your feet forward, keep your hips up, and make your body straight. Pull your elbows back until your sternum reaches the bar. Do: 2–3 sets 4–8 reps Control the movement. Keep the body tight. Don’t turn it into a hip thrust. Train what carries over. Bluegrass Barbell Move Better. Lift Better. Filed under #Back
