Type: Back |
|
|
|
The bent over row targets the whole of the back and is also a great core stability exercise because of its position. You are also giving the biceps a great workout and depending upon the positioning of the elbows, you can also work the rear shoulders. It's a good exercise for beginners to try and master, because if you get the technique, positioning and posture correct then you will see some significant gains. Start off with a light weight and get the technique correct before moving on to heavier weights.
