Bent-Over Row
BENT-OVER ROW
The bent-over row is a strengthening exercise to target the scapular retractors and upper back. Hold a weight in one hand and hinge at the hips until your other is supported by a bench. Keep the spine in neutral and the knees lightly bent. Pull the weight towards your abdomen to complete a row. Focus on squeezing the shoulders blades back as if to squeeze a pencil between them. Keep the shoulders down and back as you complete the exercise to minimize shrugging.
