The Lever Bent-Over Row With V-Bar is a back exercise that targets the muscles in the upper back, shoulders, and arms. It is performed using a lever machine, which consists of a seat and a lever attached to a weight stack. The V-bar attachment allows for a neutral grip, which can help alleviate strain on the wrists and elbows.
How to perform
To perform the Lever Bent-Over Row With V-Bar exercise, follow these steps:1. Adjust the seat of the lever machine so that the handles are at about waist height when you are standing.
2. Attach the V-bar to the handles of the lever machine.
3. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
4. Bend at the waist and grasp the V-bar with both hands, keeping your chest up and back straight.
5. Engage your core and pull the V-bar towards your lower chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.
6. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement to fully engage the muscles in your upper back.
7. Slowly lower the V-bar back to the starting position, keeping tension in your back muscles.
8. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the movement. Also, be sure to use a weight that challenges you without compromising your form.
