Smith Bent-Over Row
Expert Advice
Keep your knees slightly bent and avoid using momentum to lift the bar; focus on using the muscles of your back.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart in front of the Smith machine.
- Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward from your hips, keeping your back straight.
- Grasp the bar with a pronated grip, hands wider than shoulder-width.
- Pull the bar towards your lower ribcage, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
