Archer row
Also called Archer inverted row, Archer ring row
The archer row is a wide ring row where you pull toward one hand while the other arm stays straight. The straight arm only helps you balance, so the pulling arm does most of the work. Expect your lats, upper back and biceps to work hardest, with your forearms, abs, obliques and shoulders joining in. It is a bridge to the One-arm inverted row. You need clean Feet-elevated inverted rows first. Keep your body straight and do the same number of reps on both sides.
