BENT OVER ROWS - TECHNIQUE AND DOS AND DON'TS

1. More Muscle And Strength

Studies suggest that the bent over row is one of the best back exercises to build more muscle and strength. Research shows that the bent over row significantly activates the mid, low, and erectors better than any other back exercise. More muscle and strength will translate to bigger, heavier lifts and total body strength across other lifts.

2. Better Posture

Bent over rows can benefit your posture by reinforcing your erectors and scapular stabilisers, keeping your midline braced and positioned to hold heavier weight. This can help promote better back posture, balance, core stability and strength. Your core must remain engaged throughout the entire movement, improving strength and enhancing posture and balance.

3. Core Strength

Bent over rows can greatly benefit core strength. Your core is braced throughout the movement to stabilize your upper and lower back in a bent over position. Your core is activated while lifting the weights retracting your shoulder blades back, maintain balance and strength. Better core strength can cumulatively increase athletic performance and balance.
