< strong>Inverted row vs. pull-up

In previous articles, we introduced: Inverted row is one of the simplest exercises in freehand exercises, but it is also the most underestimated and underrated. A valued movement, it can strengthen your posterior shoulders and upper back (middle and lower trapezius, rhomboids, rear deltoid, latissimus dorsi, etc.).

The pull-up has always been called the king of upper body training! But many people are really afraid of pull-ups! At this time, reverse rowing seems to be a good alternative movement!

Although these two movements can exercise the back muscles very well, they are very different! The function of the muscles has changed!

Today I will show you the differences between them!

Pull-ups (Wide grip overhand)

Movement pattern: Vertical pull

Joint movements involved: Inner shoulder Adduction + elbow flexion

The latissimus dorsi (lats) is dominant, assisted by the teres major, and is mainly responsible for adducting the humerus!

Reverse rowing (wide grip forehand)

Movement mode: horizontal pull

FordingJoint movements involved: shoulder horizontal abduction + elbow flexion

The traps and rhomboid are dominant, the posterior deltoid is assisted, and the latissimus dorsi is less involved!
