Incline T-bar Row
About
The incline T-bar row is a back exercise done with your chest supported on a bench. It lets you target your lats and upper back while reducing strain on your lower back.
How to Incline T-bar Row
Starting Position
1. Lie face down on an incline bench with your chest against it.
2. Keep your feet firmly on the ground and stabilize your body.
3. Grasp the T-bar handle with both hands and fully extend your arms downward.
Proper Form
1. Pull the T-bar towards your chest by pulling your elbows back.
2. Contract your back as if you are bringing your shoulder blades together.
3. Keep your chest pressed against the bench and do not lift your upper body.
4. Slowly extend your arms and return to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Exhale while pulling the T-bar, and inhale as you return to the starting position while lowering the T-bar.
Precautions
1. Do not excessively bend your waist, and keep your chest and abdomen fixed on the bench.
2. Do not use momentum; focus on the contraction of your back muscles.
3. Hold the handles naturally to prevent your wrists from bending.
