Bent-over Barbell Row Overview
The bent-over barbell row is your staple exercise if you want a wide, strong, and muscular back. It targets the entire upper back area and is relatively simple to perform.
Whether you are powerlifting or just muscle building, a barbell row is necessary for you. It increases strength and muscle mass simultaneously.
How to Do It?
- Start by standing and holding the bar with a double overhand grip.
- Bend forward until your upper body is parallel to the floor.
- Now start the movement by pushing the elbows behind the body, retracting the shoulder blades.
- Pull the bar towards your lower abdomen, and then slowly lower it to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Tips on Bent-Over Barbell Row
- Do not try to complete it quickly: this exercise is all about control.
- Do not jerk your head excessively as you lift: this can be injurious.
- Do not arch too much as you pull the bar towards your abdomen.
