The Dumbbell One Arm Bent-Over Row is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the back, particularly the latissimus dorsi and rhomboids.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell One Arm Bent-Over Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by holding a dumbbell in one hand with an overhand grip.
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend your knees.
3. Hinge at the hips and bend your torso forward until it is parallel to the floor.
4. Keep your back flat and engage your core to stabilize your body.
5. Let the dumbbell hang straight down towards the floor, with your arm fully extended.
6. Pull the dumbbell up towards your hip by bending your elbow and squeezing your shoulder blade towards your spine.
7. Focus on keeping your elbow close to your body as you row the weight up.
8. Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position.
