The barbell bent-over back row is a popular exercise among fitness enthusiasts who want to develop a strong and defined back. It is a compound movement that targets multiple muscle groups, making it an efficient way to build upper body strength. This exercise can be done with just a barbell and is suitable for people of all fitness levels. By incorporating the barbell bent-over back row into your workout routine, you can improve your posture, reduce the risk of injury, and increase your overall strength and fitness. In this exercise, proper technique is crucial, and it’s important to pay attention to your form throughout the movement to get the most out of the exercise.
How to perform Barbell Bent Over Back Row
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and take hold of a loaded barbell with a wider than shoulder width, overhand grip.
- Bend at your knees and waist (more so at your waist) whilst maintaining a straight back and straight arms.
- Exhale and squeeze the muscles in your back to bring the barbell in towards your torso. Bend at the elbow to allow the movement but try not to take any weight through your forearms/ biceps.
- Once the barbell is as close to your body as it can be or the muscles in your back are as tight as they can be, inhale and return the barbell along the same path back into the starting position.
