TRX vs Barbell Inverted Row | Differences and When to Use Each

I love the inverted row. It's been a staple exercise in my workout programs for as long as I can remember.

I'll use inverted rows primarily for back hypertrophy and strength, and I'll rotate between the TRX inverted row and barbell inverted rows depending on my goals and what I'm trying to achieve.

I think the big thing to keep in mind when comparing the TRX versus the barbell inverted row is to consider your goals with the mechanics of each exercise in regard to elbow position.

With the TRX inverted row, it can be a little easier to manipulate arm position, and there's an added stability component, so lifters can sometimes find it easier to use them to focus on certain/smaller muscles.

Conversely, the barbell inverted row can be great because it tends to be easier to standardize reps for consistent performance tracking.

At the end of the day, use both. Play around with each and track progress week to week to ensure you're getting the best results.
