Barbell Bent-Over Row: Build Back Strength

Instructions

1. 1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip.
   2. Slightly bend your knees and hinge at your hips, keeping your back straight and chest up.
   3. Lower the barbell to just below your knees, keeping it close to your body.
   4. Pull the barbell toward your lower ribcage, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
   5. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.

Tips

• Maintain a neutral spine to avoid injury.
• Avoid shrugging your shoulders; focus on engaging your lats and mid-back.
• Use a controlled motion to lift and lower the barbell.
• Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
• Start with a manageable weight to master form before increasing load.
