Perfect Bent Over Row Technique
The bent over row is a fundamental pulling exercise that strengthens the entire back, improves posture, and builds functional pulling power. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep builds maximum results with perfect form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup: Hold barbell with overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulders
- Position: Hinge at hips, keep chest up and back straight
- Pull: Drive elbows back, pulling bar to lower chest/upper abdomen
- Squeeze: Contract back muscles at top of movement
- Lower: Control weight back to starting position with arms extended
