Barbell Bent-Over Rows

Also known as Barbell Rows

What It Is

Pulling a bar toward your body while bent forward. It builds a strong back that helps you stand tall and lift with less strain.

How to Do It

Hold the bar with hands just wider than your hips. Bend your knees slightly and push your hips back until your chest leans well forward with a flat back. Pull the bar to your lower ribs, then lower it until your arms are straight.

Tips

Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top. Keep your torso still instead of standing up to pull.

Skill Level

Intermediate. Free-weight lifts, single-leg balance under load, or near-bodyweight strength moves. Form matters.

Type

Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.

Engagement

Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
