Great descriptions. I’m doing stronglifts and having the same lower back strength issues. I switched from barbell to inverted rows and added light weight good mornings. After three weeks with inverted rows I’ve gone from three pullups to seven.

PS. Someone is going to wreck his kitchen table. Wish I could see it.

I’ve been reading your blog for only a month or two and I enjoy it all. I’m a video game addict with the body of a 9 year old boy and in desperate need of some upper body strength to counter my overly super muscular thumbs and that tiny, but super hard muscle on my forearm that is most likely pre carpel tunnel. I also eat like crap. Maybe you will inspire me. Maybe not. Honestly, you look a little to fit to be a geek and it concerns me.

So I love this exercise, it’s really been doing good for me for the past couple months. I went through the article again and fixed my form a bit this week and wow. My biggest advice to inverted row nubs after a couple months and a few read throughs of this article, keep the shoulders back and down. It helps you lead with your chest and keep your chin down. Keeping the shoulders back and down really made the difference for me, saw strength increases in 1 week with this adjustment to my form.
