/fit/ I've been trying to do inverted rows but I can't get my chest to the bar. Are you actually supposed to make contact between your chest and the bar? I've tried as hard as I can, but it doesn't even feel like I'm working any muscles, I just can't go up further. If I try to reposition myself to get my chest closer, I can pull myself up further, but instead the bar comes near my neck and not chest. Is it a flexibility issue? I'm doing the SL 5x5 and on the site it says I should be touching the bar and if I can't its because I lack strength and should to easier versions, like the bent-leg inverted row, but even for those I can't make contact. I'm not having any trouble at all for any other exercise in the program. Is it a flexibility issue?

TL;DR - Does your chest have to touch the bar in inverted rows?

Fuck inverted rows; do bent-over barbell rows.

this. and if it touches it, better. but hey, its better to struggle with the olympic bar and 35lbs weights and not touching it than actually touching it with only 25.
