Low Rows Background

Description

Bent-over barbell rowing is an exercise for the back muscles. The overhand grip mainly trains the trapezius and latissimus muscles, but also the biceps. Due to the bent forward position, the lower back is used to stabilize the spine.

Tutorial

  1. 1
    Grip the handles of the machine with a neutral grip (palms facing inwards) and stand shoulder-width apart.
  2. 2
    Squat down slightly and bend your upper body forwards by approx. 45° or more. Keep your back straight. Your arms and shoulders are pulled slightly downwards/forwards by the weight and your back is stretched.
  3. 3
    Pull the handles forcefully towards your abdomen until your elbows are next to your body. Your upper arms are spread out approx. 45° from your upper body. Pull your shoulder blades back and hold the position briefly. Exhale as you do so.
  4. 4
    Lower the handles slowly and in a controlled manner until your arms are stretched again and your shoulders are pulled down slightly by the weight. Breathe in as you do this.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Throughout the exercise, make sure that you are standing stably and that your back remains straight. Use the full range of motion! When the handles are in the lowest position, your shoulders should be pulled slightly downwards. When they are in the top position, you should pull your shoulders back.
Always keep your back in the same position to avoid swinging movements.
If you lack the necessary grip strength, feel free to use pulling aids!
