How to do dumbbell row

Coach's Tips

Using dumbbells allows for a more extensive range of motion compared to barbells, making them excellent for enhancing muscle nerve development and improving the appearance of your back muscles!

Start Position

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart while holding a dumbbell in each hand by your sides.

2. Slightly bend your knees and hinge forward at the hips, maintaining a straight back and lifted chest.

3. Let your arms hang downward with palms facing each other.

Proper Form

1. Keeping elbows close to your body, pull the dumbbells upward towards the ribcage.

2. Bring your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.

3. Gradually lower the dumbbells back to the starting point.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you raise the dumbbells towards your ribcage.

2. Breathe in as you return the dumbbells to the initial position.

Precautions

1. Steer clear of jerky or bouncing movements.

2. Maintain a straight back and elevated chest throughout the exercise.

3. Avoid rounding your shoulders forward as you lift.
