Bent Over Row is an exercise that works your back and biceps muscles. To perform it with a dumbbell, follow these steps:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in one hand.
- Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at your hips until your torso is almost parallel to the floor. Keep your back straight and your core engaged.
- Let the dumbbell hang down from your shoulder with your arm fully extended. This is the starting position.
- Pull the dumbbell up to your side, keeping your elbow close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blade. Pause for a second at the top of the movement.
- Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position in a controlled manner. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
- Switch sides and repeat with the other arm.
