BACK

Gorilla Rows

IntermediateBodyweight

A bent-over row using two kettlebells on the floor, alternating sides each rep. It primarily builds the back while also working the shoulders, biceps, and traps. Rowing one side at a time gives the other a brief rest and reinforces the hinged position, which carries over to real-world strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set two kettlebells on the floor and stand behind them with feet wider than shoulder width.

  2. 2

    Brace your core, hinge your hips back, and fold forward with a flat back until your chest is over the kettlebells.

  3. 3

    Grip a kettlebell in each hand with your palms facing each other.

  4. 4

    Drive one elbow back to row that kettlebell up to your torso, leaving the other on the floor.

  5. 5

    Pause briefly at the top, then lower it back down with control and set it on the ground.

  6. 6

    Repeat on the other side, alternating each rep and keeping your back flat throughout.
