Barbell Rear Delt Row

How to perform

To perform the Barbell Rear Delt Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart and holding a barbell with an overhand grip in front of your thighs.

2. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you bend forward at the hips, lowering the barbell towards the ground. Your upper body should be nearly parallel to the floor.

3. Keeping your elbows close to your body, pull the barbell towards your waist, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you do so. Focus on using your rear deltoid muscles to complete the movement.

4. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

6. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and avoid using momentum to complete the movement. Focus on controlled, deliberate movements to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.

7. To increase the difficulty of the exercise, you can increase the weight of the barbell or perform the exercise using a resistance band instead.

It is important to use proper form and technique when performing the Barbell Rear Delt Row to avoid injury and effectively target the desired muscles. Start with a light weight to ensure you are using correct form before increasing the resistance.
