Bodyweight Row Steps:
Position an olympic bar on to a lifting rack or set a smith machine bar to a approximately 3 to 4 feet off the floor.
|
Place a low bench in front of the bar approximately 5 feet away (this depends upon your height)
|
Position your self under the bar (looking towards the ceiling) and take an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder width.
|
Place your heels on the bench. Ensure your body is perfectly straight
|
Pull yourself up so that your chest touches the bar.
|
Pause slightly and lower to the start position. This is one repetition.
|
Top Tip:If you have difficulty performing this exercise from the horizontal position with feet on a bench, then try placing your feet on the floor. Bending your knees and bringing the feet closer to your body will make it less challenging.
