How to: Underhand Grip Inverted Back Row
- Set up in an inverted row position with your body straight and hanging from a stable surface.
- Grab the bar or surface with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
- Pull your chest towards the bar while keeping your elbows tucked close to your sides.
- Lower your body back down until your arms are fully extended.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes

Modifications
- Perform the exercise with bent knees to reduce lower back strain.
