Lever Bent Over Row: Effective Back Isolation Exercise
Instructions:
-
- Position yourself on the lever row machine, chest resting against the pad.
- Grasp the handles or bar with both hands, palms facing down or neutral.
- Begin with your arms fully extended and shoulders stretched forward.
- Pull the handles toward your torso, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top.
- Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
Tips:
-
- Keep your chest pressed firmly against the pad to avoid using momentum.
- Focus on engaging your back muscles, not your arms.
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
- Adjust the seat or chest pad height to ensure a full range of motion.
- Perform 3–4 sets of 8–12 reps for strength and hypertrophy.
