Recline Pull Ups, or also known as Body Rows - We're going to use the rings here for this
exercise, again to help strengthening up stability in the shoulder girdle. Jonesy's going to
go ahead and show us the mechanics that we want here. You want to hold onto the rings
nice and strong, palms facing in. We're going to walk the feet out. We're going to get the
arms nice and straight and then we're going to try and get a 90 degree angle in your shoulder
joint with the torso. Jonesy's going to keep his body nice and straight. It's really important
to keep your body nice and straight the whole time. You're just going to retract your shoulder
blades together, pull your elbows back behind you and pull yourself up in a body row or
pull up. Good. As you're doing this, as you're coming up, you really want to focus on pushing
the chest up towards the ceiling and really expanding your chest. Please be mindful that
the amount of work that you do on the push ups try to equal that with what you do on
these body rows or recline pull ups, so that your shoulder girdle will be supported evenly
on the anterior side, your front side, and also your posterior side, your back side.
That's it for recline pull ups or body rows.
