I think the muscles in the picture of the "inverted row muscles worked" are wrong! :(
The inverted row is a great exercise to incorporate into your back routine! When pulling your chest to the bar be sure to squeeze your shoulder blades together. that's critical to take some of the pressure off of the arm muscles. Also you can modify to make it a bit easier by planting your feet firmly underneath your knees. As you get stronger keep taking your feet out a little bit farther till you are vertical as shown in the video. Enjoy :) A strong back is mandatory!
