Tips
- Like all bent over rowing exercises, you must keep your back straight throughout the whole set!
- Keep your head up and eyes facing forward.
- Use a weight belt and squeeze your lower back into it if this is more comfortable for you.
- Squeeze your back and hold the weight for a count of 1-2 at the contracted position.
Instructions
- Select the appropriate dumbbells and place them on the floor in front of you.
- Bending at the knees and keeping your back straight squat down and pick up the dumbbells with an overhand grip (palms facing the floor).
- Get into the starting position by keeping your back straight and bending at the knees. Let the dumbbells slide down your thighs until they're just below knee height.
- Execute by pulling the dumbbells up under your chest as far as possible.
- Pause, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- Repeat for desired reps.
