BACK

Bent Over Barbell Row

AdvancedBarbell

A hip-hinged row pulling a barbell to the torso. The barbell keeps the load stable so you can move heavier weight, working the back along with the traps, rear shoulders and biceps. A foundational strength builder that also preps you for more advanced pulls and Olympic lifts.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly out, a loaded barbell near your shins.

  2. 2

    Brace your core, hinge your hips back and bend your knees so your straight arms reach the bar.

  3. 3

    Grip the bar with palms facing you, then extend your hips until the bar is around knee height.

  4. 4

    Holding that torso angle, pull the bar to just above your navel by driving your elbows back at about 45 degrees.

  5. 5

    Lower the bar back to knee height under control and repeat.

  6. 6

    Focus on pulling with your back, not your biceps, by leading with the elbows.
