Want a stronger, more defined back? Look no further than the bent-over row! This powerhouse exercise targets multiple back muscles, contributing to improved posture and overall strength. But proper form is key to avoid injury and maximize results.
Here's the lowdown: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell or dumbbells. Hinge at your hips, keeping your back straight – imagine a table top. Your torso should be roughly parallel to the floor. Let the weight hang straight down. Now, engage your core and pull the weight towards your lower chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
Focus on controlled movements, avoid yanking with your arms, and keep your back straight throughout the exercise. Start with a weight you can comfortably manage and gradually increase it as you get stronger. Incorporate bent-over rows into your back workouts and watch your strength soar!
