Dumbbell Bent Over Row
KEY POINTS
Set up in a hinge stance, with knees over ankles, butt back, spine in neutral and torso parallel to the floor
Move your shoulder blades before bending your elbows
Move the front of your shoulders up, away from the floor as you row
Stop when your upper arm bone is parallel to the floor = at this point your elbow will be just barely higher than your body
Pause in the top position for a count of 2 or 3 to ensure you are truly engaging your back muscles and not simply moving through the exercise with momentum
