Exercise Description

The one arm dumbbell row builds a strong, wide back while fixing muscle imbalances. It targets your lats and helps create that V-shaped upper body.

How To

1. Place one knee and hand on a bench, hold a dumbbell in your free hand 2. Keep your back straight and core tight throughout the one arm dumbbell row 3. Pull the dumbbell up to your hip, leading with your elbow 4. Squeeze your shoulder blade back at the top of the movement 5. Lower the weight slowly and repeat for all reps before switching sides

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight to avoid rotating your torso during the one arm dumbbell row • Pull with your elbow, not your hand - think of your hand as a hook • Your back should stay flat and parallel to the floor throughout the exercise • Don't rush the movement - control both the up and down phases of each rep

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and compensating with body momentum instead of proper muscle activation • Rotating the torso during the one arm dumbbell row instead of keeping your core stable • Pulling the weight too high toward your chest rather than toward your hip
