Targets: Lats, Lower trap

About

The bent-over wide-grip dumbbell row targets your upper back and rear shoulders. It helps build upper back thickness and improve your shoulder line.

How to Bent Over Wide Dumbbell Row

Starting Position

1. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and spread your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Slightly bend your knees and push your hips back while leaning your upper body forward.

3. Let the dumbbells hang below your shoulders with your palms facing each other.

Proper Form

1. Raise the dumbbell to the side of your body and towards your ribs while spreading your elbows out.

2. Focus on contracting the upper back by bringing the shoulder blades together.

3. Maintain the angle of your upper body and engage your core to prevent your body from swaying.

4. Slowly lower the dumbbell and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when lifting the dumbbell, and inhale when lowering the dumbbell.

Precautions

1. Be careful not to raise your elbows too high to avoid straining your shoulders.

2. Maintain a neutral position to prevent your back from rounding.

3. Avoid over-tensing your shoulders with excessively heavy weights.
