[@ultrainstinctfitness]

Wow the way u demonstrate ur exercise and counting of rest second is just the best thing in any workout channel . This is so close to realistic training with ur coach and is totally relatable. The best way to make anyone understand every detail. Subscribed ur channel due to such nice way of teaching. There are many workouts channel, gymnastics channel, street workout channel but ur way is the best way.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comment! :) 🙏 I'm glad you like it!

[@elyscomn59]

Thank you for the videos Adam, especially this one. They have really helped me to progress in my workouts and physic. I am 64 years old and started working out on a pullup bar about 6 months ago to build up to do my first muscle up. Doing the inverted rows the way you teach has helped me build the strength to do chest to bar pullups. I only got my first Gymnastic rings about 2 months ago and that has made a big difference also. Just this last week I was able to do some muscle ups with my next to smallest rubber band assisting me. My goal is a slow muscle up now, thanks to you. Then on to hand stand, planche, human flag, etc.

[@ryanmaravilla1338]

Great test, Adam. Thanks for the alternatives to the rings. Your channel content is solid: Honest, approachable, and inspiring.

I only have rings at Home for Back and Biceps exercises, and my goal (along with planche, handstand push ups, and the levers) is the muscle up, I think that the move is a very personal crown. Thanks for the content Adam, your content is really one of the best, and most enjoyable, thank you! 💪🏼😎

Uff, I can do 8 pullups (only chin over the bar), but can't do 15 rows. Have a lot of scapula strength to level... Let's make a regression. Now I understand why can't chest to bar. Thanks!

[@pjaworek6793]

Wow, this is a great workout. I was on my first ever set of inverted rows (I was already doing chest to bar fine, but training for muscle ups) somewhere near 15 thinking, man these are way easier than I thought, thinking I could probably do 100 of these, nope! By the 3rd set I couldn't make it all the way to 15.

Thank you Adam, love your video. I used to do a lot of round back pullups until the other day I filmed myself, and now I don't know whether if I should stop training pullups and start training elevated rows first or still do pullups and add a couple of sets of rows after that in my upperbody workout routine, would you be able to give me some advice :)

[@ulsleezus7634]

I was doing the same, injures myself thinking it would not happen to me, stepped back to a full prehab routine, and Im now able to do inverted rows. Don't waste your time on pullups, I know it hits hard to step back, but believe me, its worth it !

[@iwn77620]

I cant do right the last set, but i think it's just a matter of endurance/fatigue. Is it really necessary to reach 15 reps in all sets?

[@SuperTommox]

Great video! I can do 7 chest to bar chin ups, but I can't do a single chest to bar pull up. It's killing me. I'll try this test!

Awesome video 💯📸 man. You unlocked the mystery of chest to bar pullups for me. So much progressions and resources! Where were you years ago? 😁😁😁 Years ago, my best calisthenic/gymnastic strength training resources were calisthenic atheletes and the GymnasticBodies forums. Now, it's amazing you're fulfilling this niche role of fitness via KZbin for free. Again, thank you very much. I'm determined to get my first chest to bar pull ups ever!

[@B.s.b.s7]

Hey Adam. Please can you mark the right technic for rings rows? I find myselfe unsure about how much degrees between the elbows and the body? And i feel im using my biceps too much, maybe i need to try to pull from the elbows ? Is it good?. Also not feel my lats that much in most of the exercise. Thank you . Appreciate it

[@renzochamorro1499]

Can it be with false grip?

[@sonvu4102]

My gosh... Impossible to touch the bar with my chest.. need to practise

[@joshtarnofsky8234]

I can rock 3 sets of 15 inverted rows clean. However I am still wanting to unlock the full chest to bar pull-ups. Any advice?

[@GymnasticsMethod]

If you got these right, REALLY in the full range of motion, then you should focus more on pull-up progression! I tell a few tips on the How to do Pull-ups video!

[@mohamedmahfouz1404]

Im 43 years old has strong sports background, how often per week should i do inverted rows for strength and explosiveness? thank you

[@GymnasticsMethod]

2-3 times a week depending on your training schedule and structure!

I am currently training for muscle ups and I dont get it...still i cant do chest to bar, I am like rigth there, is not a matter of going up but going forward...I just cant reach, but I can go below chest in explosive pull ups

[@workshoes]

These inverted row exercises are bad for keepy shoulders low and squeezing them. Which is important for chest to bar. Cable row with narrow grip is better for this goal.

TRX + box for inverted rows at the gym.

[@robbyclark6915]

Most people do something similar (kinda) to a pull-up. They go halfway down and then come back up and as soon as their chin gets anywhere close to the bar, they go back down, halfway again, and over and over and claim they’ve done a bunch of pull-ups. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤷🏻‍♂️
