The Lever T-Bar Reverse Grip Row is a compound exercise that targets the muscles of the back, particularly the lats, rhomboids, and traps. It also engages the biceps and forearms to a lesser extent. This exercise is performed using a lever T-bar machine, which provides a stable and controlled movement pattern.
How to perform
To perform the Lever T-Bar Reverse Grip Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by loading the desired weight onto the lever T-bar machine. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
2. Grasp the handles with an underhand grip (palms facing up) and position yourself in a squat position with your torso slightly bent forward.
3. Pull the handles towards your lower chest, keeping your elbows close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
4. Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
5. Perform the desired number of repetitions, focusing on proper form and engaging the muscles of the back and arms.
6. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can pause at the top of the movement or add additional weight to the machine.
7. Once you have completed the set, carefully release the handles and step away from the machine.
It is important to maintain good posture and control throughout the exercise to prevent injury and effectively target the muscles of the back. As with any exercise, start with a lighter weight to get the hang of the movement and gradually increase the intensity as needed.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
