How to do a incline dumbbell row

  1. Set an adjustable bench to a 30-45 degree incline and lie face down with your chest supported against the pad
  2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip, allowing your arms to hang straight down
  3. Plant your feet firmly on the floor for stability and engage your core
  4. Pull the dumbbells up by driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together
  5. Hold the contraction briefly at the top, then slowly lower the weights back to the starting position
  6. Maintain control throughout the entire range of motion

Form tips

  • Keep your chest pressed against the bench throughout the movement to maintain proper spinal alignment
  • Focus on pulling with your back muscles rather than your arms by initiating the movement with your shoulder blades
  • Avoid using momentum or swinging the weights - control the tempo on both the lifting and lowering phases
  • Keep your shoulders down and back, avoiding any shrugging motion during the exercise
  • Choose a weight that allows you to maintain proper form for all repetitions
