How to: Suspended Row
- Adjust the suspension straps to a suitable height for your body.
- Stand facing the anchor point and grasp the handles with an overhand grip.
- Walk your feet forward until your body is at a 45-degree angle.
- Pull your chest towards the handles while keeping your body straight.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then lower back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Not keeping the body straight, resulting in hip sagging.
- Pulling with the arms instead of engaging the back.
- Lifting the chin too high, leading to neck strain.
Modifications
- Use a higher anchor point to reduce difficulty.
- Perform the movement with knees bent for additional support.
Tips
- Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Ensure your body remains in a straight line from head to heels.
- Pull with your elbows rather than your hands to properly engage the back muscles.
