About

Dumbbells have a wider range of movement than barbells, so they are more effective in developing muscle nerves and can make your back muscles look great!

How to Dumbbell Row

Starting Position

1. Please grab the dumbbells at shoulder width from the position of your shins.

2. Please spread your legs shoulder-width apart.

3. Slightly push your hips back while naturally bending your knees.

Proper Form

1. Please pull the dumbbell sideways so that it can go up vertically.

2. While gathering your shoulder blades, naturally pull your elbows and hands.

3. Using the strength of your back, lower your hands down to below your knees.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling your arms, and inhale when extending your arms.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to let your elbows flare out.

2. Please be careful not to arch your back too much or move it up and down.

3. Engage your core to prevent your back from rounding.
