The Landmine Bent Over Close Grip Row is a great exercise for building a strong and defined back. It targets the muscles in the upper and middle back, as well as the biceps and forearms. This exercise involves using a landmine attachment, which allows for a unique range of motion and can be easily adjusted to suit different fitness levels. Proper form is important to prevent injury and get the most out of the exercise. In this exercise, you will be using a barbell and a close grip V attachment to perform a rowing motion while bent over.
How to perform Landmine Bent Over Close Grip Row
- Position a barbell into a landmine and load it with your desired amount of weight.
- Take your stance on either side of the bar and place a close grip V attachment to the end of the grip lip on the barbell.
- Take hold of the attachment with a close neutral grip by bending at your knees and waist (more so at your waist) while maintaining a straight back.
- Your arms should be hanging perpendicular to the floor at this point. This is your starting position.
- 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.
- Stop and pause when you get the barbell as close to your body as you can or the muscles in your back are fully contracted.
- Inhale and return the barbell along the same path back into the starting position.
