Description

Dumbbell rowing on the incline bench is an exercise to train the back shoulder. The trapezius muscle is also stressed here.

Exercise

Rowing

Leaning forward (focus on rear shoulder/trapeze)

Type: Unilateral Rest: 150s Equipment: Kurzhantel

Tutorial

1

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a short hand in each hand. Palms facing backwards.
2

Bend your upper body forwards by approx. 45°. Your arms and shoulders hang towards the floor and your back shoulder is stretched.
3

Powerfully pull the dumbbells upwards until your elbows are next to your body and your upper arms are spread 90° to the side of your upper body. Hold the position briefly. Exhale as you do so.
4

Lower the dumbbells slowly and in a controlled manner until your arms are stretched again and in the starting position. Breathe in as you do this.
5

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

When the dumbbells are in the lowest position, your shoulders should be pulled down slightly. When you raise your arms upwards, you should NOT bring your shoulder blades together at the back, otherwise your trapezius will work more.
