What Low Row (Suspension) trains
Technique
How to do the Low Row (Suspension)
- Set the suspension trainer handles to about waist height. Grasp a handle in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and walk your feet forward, leaning back until your body forms a straight line with your arms extended.
- Keeping your body rigid from head to heels, pull your chest up toward the handles by bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Pause briefly at the top with your elbows close to your sides.
- Slowly extend your arms to lower yourself back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your body in a straight line throughout; do not let your hips sag or pike.
- Walk your feet further forward to make the exercise harder, or back to make it easier.
- Exhale as you pull yourself up and inhale as you lower back down.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top to fully engage your upper back.
