Hinge Row
- To set up for hinge rows, set the rings to a height that allows your back to be just off the ground with your arms fully extended.
- From a completely horizontal body position, with your arms and the ring straps in one straight line, take one small step back.
- You do not want to have your arms completely perpendicular to floor for these.
- Before beginning, check that your feet are your only contact with the ground and that you have a straight body line with proper posterior pelvic tilt.
- Initiate the row by pulling your torso up and forward while simultaneously hinging 90-degrees at your hips.
- As you pull and sit up, pull the rings apart wide.
- Achieve a 90-degree hip, elbow, and armpit angle at the top.
- Bring your hands back over your shoulders as you descend with control.
