Bent-over Barbell Row

Target Muscles

Lattisimus dorsi, Rhomboids, teres major and minor.
Also used Biceps, Fore-arms.

Starting Position

  • Place the bar on the floor in front of you.
  • Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder­width apart.
  • Bending forwards from the hips, keeping your back flat and slightly bending your knees, grasp the bar with an overhand grip that is slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  • Lift the bar just a short way off the floor. Position your body so that your torso is near-parallel to the ground, arms fully extended.

The Movement

  • Slowly pull the bar towards your lower chest until it just touches the lower part of your rib cage.
  • Hold this position for a count of one; then slowly lower the bar to the starting position.

Tips

  • As you pull the bar up, squeeze your shoulderblades together and keep your elbows directly above your hands.
  • Keep your back flat throughout the movement - do not round your back or you risk injury.
  • Keep your torso still - it is tempting to move your torso upwards with the bar to generate momentum. This reduces the work on the back muscles and increases the risk of injury.
