How do you perform Bent Over Row?

  • Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and hold a weight in each hand.
  • Bend forward from your hips while keeping your back straight.
  • Bend your knees slightly for better balance and to keep tension out of your lower back.
  • Let your arms hang and pull the weights up to your chest.
  • Hold for a second, then slowly lower back down.
  • Keep your core engaged and breathe regularly.
  • Focus on using your back muscles to lift the weights.

Common faults

  • Lowering the shoulders during the movement.
  • Insufficient contraction of the abdominal muscles during the exercise.
  • No stretched back and head not in line with the back.
  • Knees straight.
