Reverse-Grip Barbell Row

Starting position

• Grip the bar underhand at shoulder width, knees slightly bent.
• Lean the upper body forward about 45° with a straight back, arms straight.

Execution

• Pull the bar to the lower belly, elbows close to the body.
• Lower under control until the arms are straight.
• Breathe out as you pull.

Common mistakes

• Rounded back.
• Upper body straightening up while pulling.
• Too heavy: the biceps take over.
