How to do a bent over row

  1. Stand with your feet hip width apart holding a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Hinge at the hips until your torso is close to parallel with the floor, back flat.
  3. Let both dumbbells hang below your shoulders with your palms facing each other.
  4. Row one dumbbell to your hip while the other stays extended.
  5. Lower it with control, then row the opposite side, alternating for the full set.

Form tips

  • Keep your spine neutral and avoid rounding your back.
  • Drive your elbows back, not out to the sides.
  • Control the weight on the way down instead of dropping it.
