How To FEEL Your Back Muscles While Rowing (IMPORTANT!)

When you are doing a back exercise, more specifically a rowing exercise, you need to make sure that you are actually using your back muscles. In this video, we are going to show you how to feel your back muscles while rowing.

The reason why people don’t feel their back muscles while rowing is they are using their biceps and not their back. When rowing you might be pulling the weight back too far.

When you grab the weight, think of your hand as a hook. You want to have the mental cue of pulling with your elbow. Try and get your arm in line with your back, any further is all bicep activation. Then lower the weight all the way down and let it stretch. Repeat this motion to row correctly.

So I am doing standing rows with my resistance bands. Have been for a long time. I always wondered why I felt it so much more in my biceps then my back. So I watched this video and tried it out with the same technique you suggested. It makes a huge difference! I feel very little in my biceps now but my back started feeling it. Can't wait to see how this improves me. Thank you

Awesome! All about that mind to muscle connection. Love the memorising tips (pull with elbow, similar to imagining a pencil between shoulder blades when rowing)

[cyrezml]

that:just grip the weight and focus on your elbow is so HELPFUL!

[brandonyankees]

Warming up is crucial for back exercises, if you go in cold you won't feel shit

[aprilgordon]

What if you do all those steps and you still don’t feel your back but you feel your biceps

[sircreamsicle]

Thank u so much felt it instantly after I did how you explained

[akalbir]

No wonder I never felt my back doing inverted rows, I never streghtened my lats so I can’t do pull-ups or chin-ups

[ricardodiaz]

Great info but to fully contract the back, lat, don't you need to get the elbow behind your back? Appreciate the feedback!

[sudwivedi]

Thx for an amazing post - informative, simple, and practical. I feel like getting off my couch and going to the gym to “test it out.”

[brianmathis]

Thinking about pulling with the elbow really helped me feel it more, thanks!

[marcfelton]

He looks like the side kick dude from the Orgasmo movie❤

[jaidenmartinez]

Great advice. I always thought my biceps were just to weak for me to be doing these exercises. This advice is great for the tow machines as well

[ezu]

[Gamrt]

[missdaddy]

Really love this keep up the good work

[darshanuchiha]

This is all that I want to know, I’m a beginner and feeling DOMS on my biceps after doing chin-ups and cable and dumble rowing.

[IIG]

I feel dumbbell rows just fine. It's barbell rows that I don't really feel. And I don't care if I do it traditional or pendlay style. I still do them, but I much prefer dumbbell, cable, and Hammer Strength rows.
