Exercise Description

The ez bar reverse grip bent over row exercise builds a thick, strong middle back while improving posture. It targets your rhomboids and mid-traps better than regular rows.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, hold an EZ bar with reverse grip (palms facing up), hands shoulder-width apart 2. Hinge at hips, bend forward about 45 degrees, keep chest up and core tight throughout the ez bar reverse grip bent over row 3. Let the bar hang with arms fully extended, shoulder blades slightly stretched forward 4. Pull the bar toward your lower chest, squeeze shoulder blades together, lead with your elbows 5. Lower the bar slowly with control back to starting position, maintain the bent-over position for your ez bar reverse grip bent over row

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back during the entire ez bar reverse grip bent over row movement • 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 rep for maximum muscle activation • Your ez bar reverse grip bent over row should feel the work in your mid-back, not your lower back

Common Mistakes

• Rounding your back or letting your chest drop during the ez bar reverse grip bent over row • Using too much weight and letting momentum take over instead of controlled movement • Pulling the bar too high toward your neck instead of your lower chest in the ez bar reverse grip bent over row
