Barbell Rear Delt Row
Target Muscle
Equipment
Bend at your hips and knees, keeping your back straight, until your torso is almost parallel to the floor. Let the bar hang at arm's length in front of you.
Pull the bar to your upper abs, keeping your elbows flared out during the movement, and squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
Pause for a second at the top of the movement to maximize the contraction in your rear deltoids.
Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, maintaining control of the movement, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Grip and Position: Hold the barbell with a grip slightly wider than shoulder-width. Your palms should face your body. This grip allows for better engagement of the rear deltoids. Controlled Movement: When you pull the barbell towards your chest, do so in a controlled manner. The movement should be slow and steady, focusing on the muscle contraction and not on the weights. Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the barbell, as this can lead to injuries. Breathing: Remember to breathe correctly. Inhale as you lower the barbell and exhale as you lift it. Proper breathing can enhance your performance and prevent you from feeling lightheaded. Don't
