Barbell Bent-Over Wide-Grip Row

Expert Advice

Keep your back flat and avoid rounding to protect your spine and maximize engagement of the upper back muscles.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with a wide overhand grip.
  2. Hinge at the hips and bend your knees slightly, keeping your back straight as you lean forward until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor.
  3. Pull the barbell towards your waist, keeping your elbows flared out.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
  5. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
