Bent Over Row
Exercise Overview
DUMBBELL BENT OVER ROW This is a strengthening exercise to target the scapular retractors and upper back. Hold two weights and bend over at the hips until your hands are at knee height. Keep the spine in neutral and the knees lightly bent. Pull the dumbbells towards your abdomen to complete a row. Focus on squeezing the shoulders blades back as if to squeeze a pencil between them. Keep the shoulders down and back as you complete the exercise to isolate the movement away from shrugging.
