How to do a barbell underhand pendlay row
- 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.
- Let the barbell hang at arm's length and rest it on the floor between each repetition.
- Keeping your back flat, explosively pull the barbell toward your lower chest by driving your elbows back.
- Squeeze your back muscles at the top of the movement.
- 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.
