Perfect Incline Row Technique
Incline rows are an excellent bodyweight pulling exercise that targets your latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, middle traps, and rear deltoids. This scalable exercise serves as the perfect progression toward pull-ups while building functional pulling strength. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures optimal angle and perfect form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup Position: Set up bar or suspension trainer at chest height, grasp with overhand grip slightly wider than shoulders
- Body Position: Walk feet forward to create desired angle, maintain straight line from head to heels
- Pulling Phase: Pull chest toward bar, squeezing shoulder blades together and driving elbows back
- Controlled Return: Lower body back to starting position with control, maintaining body alignment
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Allowing hips to sag or pike during movement
- Not achieving full range of motion at the top
- Using legs to assist the pulling motion
- Flaring elbows too wide during the pull
- Rushing through the lowering phase
