Elevated Row

Elevated Row

  1. Elevate your feet to approximately ring height, grasp the rings, and fully extend your elbows.
  2. Your arms and the ring straps should be in one straight line, perpendicular to the floor and your body angled downward roughly 45-degrees.
  3. Row straight up until your shoulders touch your hands and descend with control.
  4. Maintain an even tempo, straight body line, and proper posterior pelvic tilt (PPT) as you repeat for reps.
