Barbell Row
Set up:
-Feet hip width apart
-Shoulders over the bar
-Barbell touching shins
-Knees behind barbell
-Full grip on bar
-Hands just outside of legs
-Arms straight
-Weight on heels
-Toes forward
-Back flat
-Abs engaged
Execution:
-Using hamstrings, extend legs and hips
-Knees over toes
-Keep bar in contact with body
-Stand all the way up so bar is about middle of your thighs, knees and hips fully extended
-Guide barbell back down into the hinge position
-While maintaining the hinge position, pull the barbell to your sternum and extend the arm back down
Common faults:
-Back rounding
-Feet too close or far
-Squatting to pick up the bar instead of hinging
-Letting the barbell come out in front, away from your body
Scaling options:
-Lighter weight
-Put plates under the bar so it does touch the floor(If you can’t reach full range of motion yet)
