Batfinks AKA Vertical Rows



This is a fandabulous exercise for building strength in your back and it works your abs really well too.

Tips -
(1)So you are using your back rather than your biceps don't grip with your thumbs. So your grip should be like the picture on the right:

(2) Plus as you're doing the movement mentally focus on your back.

(3) If you are finding it hard to balance in a Batfink then work on your lower abs by doing hanging leg raises or planks! Your lower abs act as a craddle in the Batfink.

*NB* Please consult a doctor before starting any new exercise programme.

  1. I like the look of those. I'll give them a go the next time I find some parallel bars.
