Dumbbell Bent Over Row

BeginnerDumbbell

A compound pulling exercise that builds the back with the biceps assisting. Dumbbells keep each side working independently and add instability compared to a barbell, which helps even out imbalances and forces better control. A dependable movement for adding back thickness and pulling strength.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall, feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell beside each hip.

  2. 2

    Push your hips back with knees bent until your torso reaches about 45 degrees, and hold that angle.

  3. 3

    Let your arms hang so the dumbbells sit under your shoulders.

  4. 4

    Pull your elbows up past your sides, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top.

  5. 5

    Focus on driving the elbows back rather than curling the weight to your chest so your back does the work.

  6. 6

    Lower the dumbbells back down with control, keeping your core braced and back flat throughout.
