Bent Over Row With Dumbbells — [Step-by-Step Technique]

Step 1: Stand in front of your dumbbells, both of even weight.

Step 3: Holding this position, squeeze your shoulder blades back and down, to isolate the lats.
Step 4: Row the dumbbells up, keeping your elbows close to your sides throughout. Pause at the top of the movement and squeeze your lats.
Step 5: Lower the dumbbells back to the lowest point, slow and controlled, keeping your shoulder blades drawn down and back.
Step 6: Repeat the dumbbell row form in steps 3-5 for the prescribed number of reps.
