Suspender Row
Description
The suspender row, also known as the TRX row or suspension row, is an inverted row performed using suspension straps. Holding the handles, you lean back with arms extended and pull yourself up to the handles. The strap setup makes the exercise easy to scale by changing your foot position and angle.
