The bent-over row is a closed chain activity, targeting the bigger global muscles, but you’ll also get some great recruitment of your trunk stabilisers.
How To Do It:
How:
1️⃣ Slightly flexed knee
2️⃣ Hinge over from hip – try this without any load first
3️⃣ Maintain a neutral spine with your hands shoulder-width apart
4️⃣ To ensure full range of motion is occurring, think about pulling your elbows behind you and hold for one second before controlling the load back down
5️⃣ Ensure the line of pull is into the belly button and not into the sternum (this isn’t an upright row)
❎ Don’t go too heavy and begin to jerk the load up
❎ Keep torso position consistent throughout, losing the hinging position will reduce range of motions.
