IMPORTANT MEMBERSHIP CANCELLATION INFO: Once you sign an Edge contract the only way out of it is if it expires, you move or you have a medical condition. Oh and they need proof. Never will I do business with them again. Signed up a month ago and just found out I'm moving. oh wait did I add if you move and your within 15 miles of an Edge you cant use moving as an excuse to cancel (my new place has a gym. The gym is fine but the way they conduct business is underhanded and dishonest. oh oh oh wait. and if you move away and do want to transfer your membership (only the cheaper one. guess what? You cant! you have to upgrade and pay more every month

My peeve with this video, and two cents:
During the one-armed movement, Jeff reaches up with the free arm, and his torso/ribcage on the free-arm side simultaneously rotates up. That positioning negates the ability to pull your working elbow behind your torso, limiting your range of motion -- That literally decreases the overall effectiveness of this exercise on the back by preventing full contraction of the muscles you're trying to hit.
His more-recent videos typically focus on pulling the elbows behind the body for maximum contraction on back exercises -- This must just be old info which he may have moved away from.

I think if many people took a step back and actually considered body weight exercises, then many would realise that they are in fact superior (to me anyway) in many ways. Need progressive overload? Add a weight vest, dip belt, plates in a book bag etc. I believe bodyweight exercises are so much more of a natural path for muscles to take, you are literally doing what evolution intended your muscles to do. Not discrediting weights by no means at all, compliment your routine with both but everybody should be doing body weight exercises.

Physiotherapist inside knowledge: The one-hand inverted pullup is really a functional exercise meaning that it's hard to actually use this exercise to get big muscles, since a normal row would be a better choice - on the other hand, it really trains your functional stability by working the Posterior Oblique Sling. Lats, thoracolumbalis and contralateral Gluteus maximus. Yes, this is actually a good exercise to train your butt - would you know? :)

He does have good ideas, he thinks outside the box I agree with most of what he says. Intelligent guy. Again it's an option to put in your back routine change up your exercises and change up everything At least every few months you need to change it up. I actually will try that I don't think it's gonna be for me I just have a feeling it's gonna be more stress on the arms then so much the back everyone's different.

The one arm variation is great! You can do that -one armie- in the rings(or TRX) too (It adds some difficulty to stabilize the rings that moves around.
Didn't think of jumping in for the concentric/-up part-. Good thing to extend the sets with more repetitions(which I feel is a problem with the normal inverted rows! Just do these -step ins-for the last 3-4 reps!
As always great tips from Jeff!

I have rings that I just strap to my doorframe pull-up station to do these. Elevate my feet on a chair and get to rowing. I would say doing this with a more open chain approach with some rotational benefits is definitely an advantage over doing them with just a plain old barbell. But either way, inverted rows are easily one of the most underrated exercises out there.

This and scapular pull ups are my favourite exercises. I used to have severe cramping in my right side shoulder, upper back and neck muscles when playing guitar but now it has dramatically come under control cause of these exercises. And they were really easy to get started with too.

I want to get the modifications of exercise correct. The high bar with the bar up to your chest the easiest variation? Then the next step would be the bar down to your waist like the standard version but with the knees bent proceeded by a regular inverted rows.
