Inverted Row Bent Knees

Lie down on your back. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground. Extend your arms straight out in front of you. Lift your hips off the ground to create a tabletop position. Pull your chest towards the bar while keeping your body straight. Lower yourself back down to the starting position. Repeat.

How to perform the Inverted Row Bent Knees

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Inverted Row Bent Knees using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your rhomboids.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your rhomboids rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
