Exercise Description

The bent over dumbbell row builds a strong, wide back and thick lats. It also hits your biceps and helps fix poor posture from sitting all day.

How To

1. Hold dumbbells with arms hanging straight down, feet hip-width apart. 2. Hinge at hips and bend forward until your torso is almost parallel to the floor. 3. Pull dumbbells up to your ribs, squeezing shoulder blades together at the top. 4. Lower the dumbbells slowly back to starting position with control. 5. Complete your bent over dumbbell row reps while keeping your core tight throughout.

Form Tips

• Keep your back straight and chest up during the bent over dumbbell row - no rounding! • Pull with your back muscles, not just your arms - think about squeezing your shoulder blades. • Keep dumbbells close to your body throughout the entire movement. • Don't rush the movement - control both the pull up and lower down phases.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and losing proper form during the bent over dumbbell row. • Pulling the dumbbells too high up toward your chest instead of your lower ribs. • Rounding your back or letting your torso come up too high during the movement.
