If you’re like me, having a balanced exercise regimen is important to you. This post is for you. It’s important to me to have strong cardio, body weight, and weight training routine. In this post, I will introduce or be reintroducing you to one of the many bodyweight routines I incorporate in my workout.
With there only being seven days in a week and a debate on whether three or two days of rest is important, that still only leaves us with four or five days to work out. Many people stick to weight training because they want to pound on mass. While some people stick to high-intensity cardio because they want that lean and fit look. I myself as well as many others try to incorporate all aspects of workouts into our program.I am neither bulky nor thin.
Inverted bodyweight row exercises
Inverted row exercises are a different take on a barbell row; the only difference is you’re relying solely on your own body weight. By relying only on your body weight this exercise can and will reduce the risk of injury, by applying less stress on your back.
The inverted row, also known as the reverse bench press is an excellent bicep exercise without weight. Not only does this exercise work out your biceps, it also helps strengthen your traps, back, and all of your stabilizer muscles in between.
(This is also a great step-up exercise for those working up the strength towards pull-ups eventually.
To complete this exercise the only thing needed is a thick and sturdy wooden pipe.
- Place your pipe between two chairs or on a surface with the equal height level
- Lie down on the floor underneath it
- Make sure that there is enough space between you and the bars
- Grab the bar with your palms facing to the outside creating and overhand grip
- Keep your body straight and erect. This will be very important to maintain your proper form.
- Engage your abdominal muscles and do not let your butt sag
- Pull yourself to the bar slowly until your chest makes contact with it. Ensure that you are moving the middle of your chest towards the bar
- Lower yourself to the ground slowly until your arms are completely extended
This is it easy workout that can be performed without weights and conveniently but it’s important for you to use firm and sturdy equipment
