Row a barbell without cheating it

draft · verifying asked 185 ways distilled today
  1. 1

    Hinge to at least forty-five degrees.

    Flat back, bar hanging under the shoulders. The more upright you drift, the more it becomes a shrug.

  2. 2

    Grip just outside the knees.

    Overhand to start. Lats set, shoulders away from the ears.

  3. 3

    Pull to the lower ribs.

    Elbows drive back, not out. The bar touches between navel and sternum.

  4. 4

    Pause a beat on the body.

    One second of contact kills the bounce that does the work for you.

  5. 5

    Lower long and full.

    Arms fully straight at the bottom, back angle unchanged. Half reps build half backs.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
