Dumbbell Single-Arm Bent-Over Rows

Also known as Dumbbell One-Arm Rows

What It Is

Builds one-arm pulling strength, like starting a lawn mower, with your free hand braced so your back stays supported.

How to Do It

Brace one hand on a sturdy, knee-high surface and bend at the hips until your back is flat. Let the dumbbell hang straight down from your other hand. Pull it toward your hip, then lower it until your arm is straight. Do all reps on one side, then switch.

Tips

Drive your elbow back toward your back pocket. Keep your shoulders level instead of twisting to lift.

Skill Level

Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.

Type

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

Engagement

Unilateral (Non-Alternating). Do every rep on one side, then switch.
