By performing this exercise with proper form and technique, you can strengthen your back muscles, improve your posture, and enhance your overall upper body strength. Individuals of all fitness levels and variations in weight and grip can be used to target different areas of the back. In this guide, we will outline the steps to perform the Barbell Bent Over Back Row correctly and effectively.
How to perform Barbell Bent Over Back Row
- 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) while 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, pause briefly.
- Inhale and return the barbell along the same path back into the starting position.
