How to do a gorilla 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

  • Hold the deep hinge the whole set, do not stand up between reps.
  • Push down into the supporting dumbbell to keep your torso stable.
  • Keep your spine long and your neck in line with your back.
