Suspension Trainer Row Instructions

  1. Stand facing the suspension trainer with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Hold the handles of the suspension trainer with an overhand grip, palms facing each other.
  3. Lean back, keeping your body straight, until your arms are fully extended in front of you.
  4. Engage your core and squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull your body towards the handles.
  5. Continue pulling until your hands are at your sides and your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle.
  6. Pause for a moment, then slowly extend your arms back to the starting position.
  7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Suspension Trainer Row Tips

  1. Focus on maintaining a strong and stable core throughout the exercise. Engage your abdominal muscles by pulling your belly button towards your spine, creating a solid foundation for the movement.
  2. Initiate the row by squeezing your shoulder blades together, imagining that you are trying to hold a pencil between them. This will help activate your lats, the primary muscles targeted in this exercise.
  3. Keep your elbows tucked close to your body as you pull yourself up towards the handles. This will ensure that your lats are doing the majority of the work, rather than your biceps or shoulders taking over.
  4. Focus on a slow and controlled movement, both during the pulling phase and the lowering phase. This will maximize the time under tension for your lats, leading to greater muscle activation and growth.
  5. As you reach the top of the row, squeeze your shoulder blades together even more, emphasizing the contraction in your lats. Imagine trying to touch your elbows behind your back, really feeling the muscles working.
