The Dumbbell Reverse Grip Row is an exercise that targets the muscles in the upper back, shoulders, and biceps. It involves using a pair of dumbbells and a bench or stable surface to support your body while performing the exercise.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Reverse Grip Row, follow these steps:1. Begin by holding a dumbbell in each hand with a reverse grip, palms facing up. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend your knees.
2. Place your left knee and left hand on a bench for support, keeping your back flat and parallel to the ground. Your right leg should be slightly bent and extended behind you for balance.
3. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you lift the dumbbells towards your chest, driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
4. Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, ensuring that your arms are fully extended but not locked out.
5. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other side by placing your right knee and right hand on the bench and performing the row with your left arm.
6. Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your back flat and core engaged to avoid straining your lower back.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can use heavier dumbbells or increase the number of repetitions and sets performed. Make sure to warm up before starting the exercise and cool down afterwards to prevent injury.
