< 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!
