Easy Exercise of the Week: Reverse Grip Bent Over Rows

Eric Lalor

Target the biceps  and lats with this brilliantly effective exercise.

Instructions:

  • Stand up straight while holding a barbell with your palms facing up
  • Bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward, by bending at the waist, while keeping the back straight until it is almost parallel to the floor.
  • While keeping the torso stationary, lift the barbell as you breathe out, keeping the elbows close to the body and not doing any force with the forearm other than holding the weights. On the top contracted position, squeeze the back muscles and hold for a second.
  • Bring it back to the starting position slowly and repeat as necessary.
