How to Master the Barbell Row Machine (Complete Guide)

Perfect Barbell Row Machine Technique

The barbell row machine is a fantastic exercise for building strength in your upper back and arms. Proper form ensures you maximize your efforts while minimizing injury risk. ChAIron's AI coaching optimizes your form to target the right muscle groups effectively.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

1.Setup Position: Sit on the machine with your chest against the pad, gripping the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width.
2.Pull Motion: Drive your elbows back, keeping your back straight, while pulling the bar towards your torso.
3.Engage Lats: Focus on pulling with your lats, not your arms, ensuring full contraction at the top of the motion.
4.Controlled Return: Slowly release the bar back to the starting position, resisting the weight to enhance the muscle activation.
5.Breathing: Exhale as you pull the bar towards your body, inhale as you return to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1.Using excessive weight and jerking the bar upward.
2.Rounding the back instead of maintaining a neutral spine.
3.Not engaging the lats properly, relying on biceps.
4.Allowing the elbows to flare out instead of staying close to the body.
5.Moving too quickly without a controlled motion during the return phase.
