Renegade rows with pushups is one of the best routines for hammering the entire body at once. Im a certified personal trainer and Ive been doing renegade rows with pushups for quite some time. What muscles are worked during renegade rows with pushups? The entire upper body. What more can I say? The pushup portion works the pectoralis (chest) muscles, as well as triceps muscles (back of upper arms) and anterior deltoids (front of shoulders). Pushups also engage the core (lower back and abdominals), since these muscles must isometrically contract to allow the pushup motion (isometrically means that the muscles do not lengthen or shorten while remaining under tension). The rowing aspect of renegade with pushups targets the middle back muscles (chiefly the rhomboids), the biceps muscles (front of upper arms), and the forearm muscles. The plank position that precedes each rowing motion engages the core.
