The Lever Bent Over Row is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the upper back and arms.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Bent Over Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by standing facing a lever machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Grab the handles of the lever machine with an overhand grip, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
2. Bend at the hips and lower your torso until it is almost parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight and chest up.
3. Pull the lever towards your torso, squeezing your shoulder blades together and keeping your elbows close to your body.
4. Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the lever back to the starting position, keeping control of the weight.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps, maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.
6. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can adjust the weight on the lever machine or use heavier resistance bands if using a resistance band machine.
7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and keep your core engaged to protect your lower back. If you feel any strain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately and consult with a fitness professional.
