Barbell Row

Instructions

Steps: 1.) Start by loading a barbell on the floor in front of you, standing with your feet about shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. 2.) Bend forward at the hips, keeping your back straight, and grab the bar with an overhand grip, your hands evenly spaced just outside of your knees. 3.) Lift the bar off the floor and hold it at arm's length with your torso leaned forward and your knees kept slightly bent. This is your starting position. 4.) Slowly pull the bar straight up towards your lower chest, keeping your elbows in, until the bar touches your body and squeeze your back. 5.) Hold for a count then lower the bar back to the starting position making sure that the weight does not touch the floor. 6.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
