Smith Single Arm Bent-Over Row
Equipment
With your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly and hinge at the waist until your torso is almost parallel to the floor.
Reach out and grab the barbell with one hand, keeping your arm fully extended, and your palm facing towards you.
Pull the barbell up towards your waist, keeping your elbow close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blade at the top of the movement.
Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, ensuring a controlled movement throughout. Repeat the exercise with the recommended number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.
Pro Tip
Avoid Rushing: A common mistake is to rush through the movements. Instead, perform the exercise slowly and with control. This ensures that you're using your muscles, not momentum, to lift and lower the weight. It also reduces the risk of injury. Correct Grip: Ensure that your grip is firm but not overly tight. Your knuckles should face outwards, not upwards. This helps to engage the correct muscles in your back and arms, and prevents wrist strain.
