Bent-over dumbbell row: how to do it with good form
The bent-over dumbbell row builds a strong back with two dumbbells and trains the trunk to hold the position.
How to do it
- 1
Stand with feet hip-width apart, a dumbbell in each hand.
- 2
Hinge forward with a flat back until your torso is almost parallel to the floor, knees slightly bent.
- 3
Row the dumbbells towards your lower stomach, elbows close to your body.
- 4
Lower under control until your arms are straight.
Common mistakes
- Rounding the back.
- Jerking the weights up with momentum from the legs.
- Pulling to the chest instead of the stomach.
