Exercise Description

The reverse grip bent over dumbbell row builds a thick, strong middle back while hitting your biceps harder than regular rows. Perfect for fixing posture and adding width.

How To

1. Hold dumbbells with palms facing forward, feet hip-width apart 2. Hinge at hips, lean forward 45 degrees, keep chest up and core tight 3. Pull dumbbells to your lower ribs, squeezing shoulder blades together 4. Hold the reverse grip bent over dumbbell row position for one second at the top 5. Lower dumbbells slowly, feeling the stretch in your middle back muscles

Form Tips

• Keep your reverse grip bent over dumbbell row grip strong - palms face forward throughout the movement • Pull to your lower ribs, not your chest, to target the middle back properly • Don't let your torso bounce up and down during the reverse grip bent over dumbbell row • Squeeze your shoulder blades like you're crushing a walnut between them

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and letting your reverse grip bent over dumbbell row form break down completely • Pulling the dumbbells too high toward your chest instead of your lower ribs • Standing too upright instead of maintaining the bent over position during the reverse grip bent over dumbbell row
