How to Row with Proper Form

1 min read

Rows develop back thickness and pulling strength. For barbell rows: hinge at hips until torso is 45 degrees, bar hanging at arms length. Pull to lower chest, squeezing shoulder blades together. Don't jerk with momentum. For dumbbell rows: one knee and hand on bench, other foot planted. Pull dumbbell to hip, not armpit—this targets lats rather than upper back. Control the weight on every rep.
