How to do the Bent-Over Row - Learn Proper Bent-Over Row Form
- Step 1: Hold onto a barbell with your palms facing down. Bend your knees slightly and bend forward at the waist while keeping your back straight. It should be almost parallel with the floor. The barbell should be directly in front of you; your arms should be perpendicular to the floor. This is the starting position.
- Step 2: While keeping your torso stationary, lift the barbell toward you. Your elbows should be kept close to your body. Use only your forearms to hold the weight. When you get to the top, squeeze your back muscles and hold for a few seconds.
- Step 3: Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.
- Step 4: Repeat the process for the number of repetitions in your workout routine.
Bent-Over Row Variations and Bent-Over Row Alternatives
- Variation 1: Perform the exercise while keeping your palms facing you.
- Variation 2: Use an underhanded grip instead of an overhanded grip.
- Variation 3: Bend only 45 degrees at the waist rather than a full bend.
Bent-Over Row Tips
- Tip 1: Keep your head up while performing the exercise.
- Tip 2: Take care not to slouch when performing the exercise. Doing so increases the risk of a back injury.
