This is, without any doubt, the best information available on the differences between the two movements. I'm a computer geek close to retirement and don't care about lifting 1, 000, 000 pounds off the ground or looking like Arnold. I just don't want to have to use a walker in a few years because I'm weak and pathetic. Since including the inverted row into my body-weight workouts the difference in my posture and overall strength is amazing. Everyone should watch this video over and over until they fully understand that both exercises are great and stress the same muscles in different ways. In the end, it's all about where you want to go and finding a way to get there and even though you don't come out and say it that way, the intent shines through! Great job!

Thanks again, I wanted to let you know, that so far I am only doing the foot assisted pull up variation with my TRX straps. I also decided to incorporate hanging on the pull up bar for isometric contractions. I can do the foot assisted for 3 sets of 8 reps(for not, the isometric contractions for 3 sets of 20 seconds(again for now, and I have been using the resistance band exercise that you mentioned as well. I appreciate the idea of using the inverted row but with a bench. I sometimes teach TRX functional basics class, and have those who are more advanced do those, also I remind them that this is a functional basics class not an advanced class, but I digress lol

Just exactly what I was searching for.
I have been training for at least two years at traditional gyms, however and during this confinement, I tried to experiment with bodyweight training (I want to increase mobility and overall functionality.
I recently acquired a pair of small parallel bars, the real problem is figuring out what kind of exercises I can make considering its limited height.
Aside from inverted rows, its height allows for a kind of frontal tucked knees pull up or elastic band leg assisted l sit pull up.
Are those exercises substitutes for real pull ups or chin ups or at least valid progressions toward the complete movement?

Excellent information on two foundational exercises; the inverted row is so overlooked. Throw in a rear delt type of exercise, like a bent over row and/or a -Y- raise on the floor, and they can all be done in a circuit for a complete and fabulous back workout. For guys especially, who overwork their chest (ego, the inverted row is critical. I learned that the hard way, doing nothing but chest when I was a kid and combined with a career at the keyboard, ending up with bad kyphosis in midlife. Now it is catch up time.

I didn't realize there was a controversy. The most minimal set of exercises to select for balanced muscle development should include horizontal and vertical presses and pulls for upper body, and a triple extension and a hip hinge for the lower body. Rowing is the horizontal pull. No matter what new methods and tools come out, no matter what we learn about exercise science, the big six movements are the minimum requirement for a balanced training regimen.

this is a phenomenal exercise everyone. I took this video to heart. in less than 3 months I can do 90 reps at 3 sets of 10. hopefully she will show you what I call the 90 degree leg help. I use my legs in a squat form to help when I get fatigued. its actually quite amazing.

Hi, since i can't afford a pull up bar yet, i was wondering if inverted row with tucked/raised up knee is a good substitution to normal pull ups? I mean, you're still pulling your whole bodyweight so does it still give the almost same results?

Great video very informative. So if I want to work retraction the best option os the inverted row.
PD: your jump to in desc is wrong you writed pull up where you have to write inverted row (sorry for the bad english)

Thanks, so informative. I have your booty program. made huge difference in power in my squats, deads, and no more lower back pain. just solid muscle building. I feel like I have an advantage over everyone now. Cheers

It took me about 3 weeks to get to ONE full pull-up, now I'm working on slowly increasing reps. 10 seems so FAR away! I love love love your Tank Top in this video! Thank you for so much for all the great information!
