Inverted Row

Set up a bar at waist height or use a suspension trainer.

Stand facing the bar or suspension trainer, with your feet shoulder-width apart.

Grab the bar or handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

Lean back, keeping your body straight and your heels on the ground.

Pull your chest towards the bar or handles, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Losing tension in the core or lower back partway through the movement — because Inverted Row loads multiple joints at once, a small breakdown in bracing at the hips or spine compounds through the whole chain.

Rounding the upper back or shrugging the shoulders up toward the ears at the start of the pull instead of initiating with the target muscle.

Rushing through reps using momentum rather than controlling both the lifting and lowering phase, which is especially important since there's no external load to force good tempo.

Skipping a warm-up set at lighter load/intensity — even "beginner" exercises benefit from a rehearsal set to groove the movement pattern before working sets.
