Chest-supported row: how to do it with good form

The chest-supported row trains the back without loading the lower back, because your chest rests on a bench.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set a bench to an incline and lie face down with your chest on the backrest.

  2. 2

    Let the dumbbells hang straight down with straight arms.

  3. 3

    Row the dumbbells up towards your hips and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

  4. 4

    Lower under control until your arms are straight.

Common mistakes

  • Lifting the chest off the bench.
  • Jerking the weights up.
  • Shrugging the shoulders towards the ears.
