Dumbbell Row
Thick backCoach's Tips
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. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a pair of dumbbells at your sides.
2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips, keeping your back straight and chest up.
3. Allow your arms to hang straight down, palms facing each other.
Proper Form

2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
3. Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position with control.
Breathing Technique
