The Barbell One Arm Bent Over Row is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the back, shoulders, and arms. This exercise helps improve overall upper body strength and can be performed with a barbell or dumbbell.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell One Arm Bent Over Row, follow these steps:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with an overhand grip in one hand. Keep your back straight and bend at the waist until your upper body is almost parallel to the floor. Your knees should be slightly bent.
2. Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the exercise to prevent any strain on your lower back.
3. Pull the barbell towards your hip, keeping your elbow close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blade at the top of the movement to fully engage your back muscles.
4. Slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position, fully extending your arm.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.
6. Remember to maintain proper form and control throughout the exercise to maximize the effectiveness and prevent injury. It's important to start with a light weight to perfect your form before increasing the weight.
