Perform the inverted row under a sturdy table to strengthen your upper body.

  1. Lie on your back under the table, grasping the edge with an overhand grip.
  2. Keep your body straight and pull your chest towards the table.
  3. Lower yourself back down with control.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Inverted Row under Table

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Inverted Row under Table 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 latissimus dorsi.
  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 latissimus dorsi 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.
