Suspended Rows At Home

Have you done enough barbell and dumbbell rows for your back? Head to the bathroom, because I’ve got something good for you!

Suspended Rows

This one is the result of me contemplating changes to my workout plan for November, where I tried to find a good compound exercise replacement for pullovers.

If this version becomes too easy for you, try my advanced suspended rows at home!

Safety

Once more: DO NOT DO THIS WITH A PULL-UP BAR WEDGED INTO THE DOOR FRAME! The bar will come flying out, taking a good bit of the frame with it. At the same time you will go flying into whatever happens to be behind you.

Everything you use to do this exercise at home has to be solid enough to handle your weight: the bar, beam or hook and the towel!
