Movement instructions
Hang a rope or suspension straps from a rack or other stable object. Grasp the ends and position yourself in a supine position hanging from the ropes. Your body should be straight with your heels on the ground with your arms fully extended. This will be your starting position.
Begin by flexing the elbow, pulling your chest to your hands. Retract your shoulder blades as you perform the movement.
Pause at the top of the motion, and return yourself to the start position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Your progress
Keep the same other setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Inverted Row with Straps sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
