Exercise Description

The meadows row builds a wider, thicker back while hitting your lats from a unique angle. This one-armed barbell row creates serious lat width and back strength.

How To

1. Set up a barbell in a corner or against a wall with weight on one end 2. Stand perpendicular to the bar and grab the thick end with your far hand using an overhand grip 3. Bend at your hips and knees, keeping your back straight and core tight for the meadows row starting position 4. Pull the barbell up toward your hip, driving your elbow back and squeezing your lat at the top 5. Lower the meadows row slowly and controlled, feeling the stretch in your lat before repeating

Form Tips

• Keep your torso angled forward throughout the entire meadows row movement • Pull the bar toward your hip, not your chest, to maximize lat activation • Use a full range of motion and squeeze your lat hard at the top of each rep • Keep your core braced and avoid twisting your torso during the meadows row

Common Mistakes

• Pulling the bar too high toward your chest instead of your hip during the meadows row • Using your lower back instead of your lat to lift the weight • Rushing through the meadows row reps without controlling the negative portion
