How to do a barbell underhand pendlay row

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hinge at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor, gripping the barbell with an underhand (supinated) grip just outside your knees.
  2. Let the barbell hang at arm's length and rest it on the floor between each repetition.
  3. Keeping your back flat, explosively pull the barbell toward your lower chest by driving your elbows back.
  4. Squeeze your back muscles at the top of the movement.
  5. Lower the barbell under control back to the floor and reset before the next rep.

Form tips

  • Keep your spine neutral and core braced throughout the lift.
  • Let the bar come to a dead stop on the floor between reps.
  • Drive the elbows back and avoid using momentum from your lower back.
  • Keep your torso parallel to the floor during the pull.
