Strength exercise
Barbell Reverse Grip Row
How to do it
- Stand over a loaded barbell with feet shoulder width apart and grip the bar underhand, hands just inside shoulder width.
- Hinge at the hips to about 45 degrees, letting the bar hang at arm's length with a flat back.
- Brace your core and keep your knees softly bent to support the bent over position throughout the set.
- Pull the bar toward your waist, leading with the elbows close to your sides and squeezing the latissimus dorsi, biceps, and forearm flexors.
- Exhale on the pull, pause briefly at the top, then lower the bar under control without letting your back round.
- Keep the underhand grip supinated throughout; avoid rotating your wrists as fatigue sets in.
