Exercise Description

The chest supported dumbbell row builds a strong, wide back while removing lower back stress. Perfect for building pulling strength safely.

How To

1. Set an incline bench to 45 degrees and lie face down with chest supported 2. Hold dumbbells with arms hanging straight down, palms facing each other 3. Pull dumbbells up by driving elbows back and squeezing shoulder blades together 4. Hold the top position for one second, feeling the chest supported dumbbell row work your lats 5. Lower dumbbells slowly back to starting position and repeat the chest supported dumbbell row movement

Form Tips

• Keep your chest pressed firmly against the bench throughout the entire chest supported dumbbell row • Pull with your elbows, not your hands - think about driving elbows back behind your body • Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of each chest supported dumbbell row rep • Don't let the dumbbells swing - control the weight up and down with steady movement

Common Mistakes

• Lifting your chest off the bench during the chest supported dumbbell row, which defeats the support purpose • Using too much weight and swinging the dumbbells instead of controlled pulling • Pulling with arms instead of back muscles during the chest supported dumbbell row movement
