How to do the TRX Wide-Grip Inverted Row
Set up your suspension straps: Adjust the straps so that the handles hang at about waist height. Position a bench or raised platform beneath the straps for your feet.
Position yourself: Lie down beneath the straps and grasp the handles with a wide grip. Ensure your hands are wider than shoulder-width apart, with the bench placed to allow your body to align straight from heels to head.
Start the movement: With core engaged and hips stable, pull your shoulder blades back and initiate the row. Drive with your elbows to elevate yourself until your chest is at the level of your hands.
Complete the movement: Pause briefly at the top, then lower yourself with control back to the starting position.
Repeat: Perform the necessary number of repetitions and sets prescribed in your workout.
Note: Proper form is crucial to avoid strain on the shoulders and back. Modifying the height of the straps or bench can vary difficulty.
