Inverted Row

[pkhamidar2com]

if anyones wondering, this exercise works out, * Trapezius, Middle * Trapezius, Lower  * Rhomboids * Latissimus Dorsi * Teres Major * Deltoid, Posterior * Infraspinatus * Teres Minor * Brachialis * Brachioradialis

from exrx, btw jsut so you know this is not any different to db rows or barbell rows, the other rowing movements will hit all these muscles aswell.

I got this from exrx,google it.

@pkhamidar2com but it is different,less chance of hurting your self,much better exercise for lower back,other exercise can do damage to it

[pkhamidar2com]

@TheSUBGAMER agreed somewhat, and quite alot too. Usually when i see people doing dumbell rows they use their lower back and swing like they are sexing some dog or something... With inverted rows its only possible to do these with good form and a straight body.

[TheSUBGAMER]

@pkhamidar2com true,but i dont do this exercise like on this video,when i am pulling i move my head toward the ground andwhen i lower my body i bring my head toward the chest

try it like that,it has a nice effect on neck and upper traps also

Check out my profile and website if you are interested in Jungle Gym straps... I carry them.

First of all, lol your doing the exercise to fast.

U build more muscle, and strength if you perform the exercise REALLY slowly.

Do the inverted row as slow as you possibly can, you will use every fiber of muscle, instead of jerking.

Second of all, yes i must agree, your form is not the best. Be as stiff as possible.

Completely false. The key is to do repetitions as fast as possible WHILE keeping CORRECT form. This is what Chad Waterbury, Neurophysiologist, Men's Health Magazine specialist, and author of "Get Huge in a Hurry" maintains.

You might not agree with the form/path of the video, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the speed as long as correct form is used. Correct Form + Speed of repetition = Most muscle fibers used.

Well maybe he's an idiot whos advice will get a lot of people injured.

The faster you go the more you're encouraged to use momentum and other cheats. Think about it.

You're curling a 10kg weight. If you do it slow with good form, every single second you're curling you're lifting 10kg. If you're using momentum however, then you're only using your bicep for half or a third of the curl, and due to the speed it already has, you're not curling 10kg.

[topformfitness]

Slow eccentric for control, but powerful concentric is best. This will eliminate momentum. Speed can safely be used, but you have a good point in that swinging the weight should be avoided.

[swing11]

Even though I'm being clear as day, you're still not getting it. Maybe the fastest you can go while using correct form for a particular exercise looks slow to someone else. THIS is what I'm saying. Fast as you can go can still look slow; what I'm saying is do the repetitions with CORRECT form FIRST and FOREMOST....the second you start doing incorrect form is the time you should slow it down. Going as slow as possible to work the most muscle fibers is a COMPLETELY FALSE STATEMENT!!

[swing11]

Good god....did I ever say one thing about using momentum? Going as slow as possible to work the most muscle fibers = COMPLETELY FALSE! First and foremost: correct form. Secondly: fast as you can WHILE using correct form, NO momentum. The second you start using momentum/incorrect form, SLOW DOWN. What looks fast to one person might look slow to another.

If you work slow, you work your muscle for longer on the one rep. I'll put it this way, if you workout slower, your getting a better workout because your using your muscles for longer.

[shogun1]

@DwnNvr You will also get slower. For athleticism you should lift with speed (explode on the up phase, steady on the way down).

[topformfitness]

Very true. Too bad so many people have been taught otherwise, and that "Super-Slow" training method became so popular for awhile. Muscles are designed to contract quickly, and as long as strict form is used that is the optimal way to train.

[topformfitness]

Actually this is not completely accurate. The lowering phase should be controlled and slower, but the concentric pulling phase should be fast and explosive to activate the fast twitch muscle fibers. I understand your thoughts, but most research now says that fast, controlled contractions result in the best gains for experienced trainees.

[divertiti]

You need to keep your body in a straight line, keep tension in your core and gluts, don't swing your hips up and down

[marxistsoldier]

bad bad bad form

[tromcom]

Another good video. Are those straps homemade? They look different than any I've seen by searching for "Blast Straps."

[richrufftraining]

They're the "Jungle Gym" straps from Perform Better.

Thanks!

I think its Springsteen.
