Bent Over Two Dumbbell Row With Palms In
A rowing exercise that targets the middle back, biceps, and shoulders with dumbbells.
Instructions
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
- Bend your knees slightly and bend at the waist, keeping your back straight until your torso is parallel to the floor.
- Let the dumbbells hang in front of you with your arms fully extended.
- Pull the dumbbells towards your torso, keeping the elbows close to your body until the dumbbells are at your side.
- Pause at the top of the movement, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rounding the back during the movement, which can result in injury.
- Using momentum to lift the weights instead of using muscle strength.
- Flaring the elbows out to the side instead of keeping them close to the body.
