A bodyweight rear-delt and upper-back exercise performed by anchoring a towel at head height, gripping with a supinated (palms-up) hold, and rowing your face toward the anchor point. The supinated grip externally rotates the shoulders and places greater emphasis on the rear deltoids and rotator cuff.
