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.
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.
