Thats well done. "Chest has to touch bar" is BS. The real key is squeezing the scapula and having the lower/mid traps and rhomboids all fully activated at the top of each rep. As long as that happens, you don't necessarily need to touch the bar with chest.
I bet you can do it pretty well w/ feet elevated too.
Everything needs to be put into context. This exercise was part of a restoration training block following my track season. The objective was to approach complete failure in a high rep set of a horizontal pulling exercise. I completed 27 solid reps and my technique began to falter on reps 28-30 as fatigue set in. . .mission accomplished.
My chest does touch the bar unless you are referring to the final 2 or 3 reps of the 30 rep set in which I may have come up slightly short as fatigue set in. My question is: why must the chest touch the bar?
I like how you don't clarify to DFiech/answer his question. You just passively aggressively call him weak. Your inverted rows are fine dude, this guys just another internet warrior. $10 says he has no videos of himself doing any workouts. Good job on the rows, I suck at them.

He should elevate his feet before he adds weight.

Because if you dont touch the bar, it means your not strong enough.

I wasnt trying to be rude, all i said is that if you dont touch the bar on every rep, then your not doing it correct.
