Complete Barbell Row Tutorial #backday

The perfect barbell row technique for lats. First, approach the bar in the rack and grip it with your hands placed at shoulder width. Take a few steps back and place your feet just outside hip width. With your back neutral, hinge and push your hips back like you would in a romanian deadlift. Lower the bar as far down as you can without rounding your back. You should feel a stretch in your hamstrings and glutes. Then, tighten your core and pull your elbows up and back while rowing the bar towards your hips. The row ends when the bar touches the belly button area and your scapulas are fully retracted. Then, initiate the down phase by protracting your scapulas and slowly lowering the bar until your arms are fully straight.

Not many likes but it's the clearest explanation. Showing how the back muscles protract etc really helps

Thank you for getting straight to the point 👍🏽

Great explanation, although rows could benefit the mid-back more with slight changes.

Yay I just tried this today at the gym!! Always wanted to do barbell rows on back day but I never knew how to do them properly 🎉

[keonideinhardt]

I've been doing it wrong for 8 years. Thanks man, finally feel it.

Whenever I did this exercise my lower back hurt like hell, but I saw this video and tried and it worked. Thank you

[joshtkd]

This helped so much! At the gym now. Thank you sir!!!

[havok]

Oh, thanks, man! I'm a beginner in this and tried this exercise but pulled the barbell to the chest instead, my arms hurt lol

Is it common to experience slight lower back pain, during barbell rowing in this fashion?

[balancer]

Hey I was taught to not lock elbows when using machines. Does this rule not apply for barbells?

[bestdarrenshanfan]

you just described how to target rhomboids and traps

[krishivvyas]

Wouldn't this affect more mid back due to your elbows which are flaring out

[dorag]

What if I feel lats working but I'm not pulling the bar all the way towards my hips?

[KimEatsAnOreo]

Is it normal that my lower back kinda hurts?

[Juarzed]

Only me who has problem to get straight back while bending down low?

[biarosalina]

Am I the only one who was told to put feet together for this? Doing heavy lifts does not cause injury inconsistent information does.

[BD-odys]

If we do rows with an underhand grip? Is it ok for back workout

[James-_Bond.]

Is it okay to feel some tension in your lower back when doing the exercise

[reeseblakeney]

So what's the difference between doing these pronated and/or supinated?
