About this exercise

The Band Lying Reverse Grip Row is a back exercise performed lying on the floor with a resistance band looped around the feet and a supinated (underhand) grip. The reverse grip shifts more emphasis onto the biceps and lower lats compared to a standard overhand row.

How to Perform

  • Lie flat on your back on the floor and loop the resistance band around both feet
  • Extend your legs and hold one end of the band in each hand with palms facing up (supinated grip)
  • Keep your arms fully extended toward your feet to start
  • Pull both hands toward your hips by driving your elbows back along your sides
  • Squeeze your lats and biceps at the peak contraction
  • Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position under control
  • Keep your back flat on the floor and your core braced throughout
