Holy crap Cynic! That sounds like a great substitute! Lisa also recommended Elbow Touchs as a substitute as well. Easy to do when rested, quite a bit tougher after Deads and RDL's.

But your inverted row variation sounds even more challenging. I'll give it a go my next session.

It'll likely work your back pretty well also, since it's a iso hold.

Good luck on it.

DISCLAIMER: I've never done it. I have a swiss-ball at home so I don't have a problem. I'm simply considering the position and what will work to stabilize yourself.

Give it a try, report back.
