How to do the TRX Floor Wide-Grip Inverted Row
Adjust your suspension trainer to hang at approximately hip level.
Lie on the floor directly underneath the suspension trainer.
Grab the handles with an overhand grip, arms fully extended, and position your hands wider than shoulder-width apart.
Your body should be in a straight line, heels anchored on the ground, and arms extended.
Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line as you pull your chest towards the handles, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Elbows should go out wide as you perform the rowing motion.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement when your chest is close to the handles.
Lower your body back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure that the movement is controlled throughout the exercise and that the core remains engaged to prevent the hips from sagging. Adjust the level of difficulty by positioning your feet closer or further away from the suspension trainer to change the angle of your body.
