Exercise The Right Way - The Barbell Bent-Over Row

Author : Richard Mitchell

Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuiders' training regimes.


It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better.


In this article we'll take a close look at the bent-over row using a barbell.


MUSCLES TARGETED: latissimus dorsi, teres major, middle trapezius, rhomboids


PREPARATION


Grasp the bar with a closed, pronated grip.
Grip should be slightly wider than shoulder width.


STARTING POSITION


Adopt a shoulder width stance with knees slightly flexed.
Flex the torso forward so that it is not quite parallel to the floor.
Make sure the back remains straight.
Look to a point just ahead of the feet.
Let the bar hang with the arms fully extended.
This is the starting point for all repetitions.


UPWARD MOVEMENT


Pull the bar up towards the lower chest.
Point the elbows up.
Keep the torso rigid, back flat and knees slightly flexed.
Touch the bar to the chest in one smooth movement.


DOWNWARD MOVEMENT


Let the elbows slowly extend back to the beginning position.
Keep the torso and knees in the same position.
Repeat or finish set.
