Barbell Rowing is one of the useful movements. I believe some people know it. Barbell rowing has many benefits. At the same time, barbell rowing is also very particular. As for how to do barbell rowing, some people still know how to do it. So, what is the standard movement of barbell rowing? Let’s take a look below!
Barbell rowing standard movements
1. Stand with your feet apart (just a little apart, the distance between your feet should be significantly narrower than your shoulders), hold the barbell with a wider grip, bend your knees and tilt your upper back forward until you basically keep it with the ground parallel. The back should be straight, the head should be raised forward and not lowered, and the barbell hangs under the body in the starting position.
2. Use the strength of the latissimus dorsi to lift the barbell almost vertically to the position of the upper abdomen (that is, when your arms are raised, they should be at the position of the lower abdomen when looking down). Note that it is best to completely touch the upper abdomen here, rather than close to it. In short, the closer the better.
3. Lower the barbell in a controlled manner and repeat.
Precautions for barbell rowing
1. As for the trunk, the most fearful thing is that there is a rounded back, a hunched back, or the lower back is not straight, which will cause the back to bear excessive pressure, which will also affect the health of the lower back in the long run.
2. In addition, the stability of the lower limbs and core muscles is the basis for maintaining posture. If your body control ability is not up to a certain level, you should start with other movements, such as inclined plank rowing
3. Next, remember to keep your torso flat, and the front angle of your body is also the key to the movement. Imagine that if your body is too upright, it will become a shrug training! If you want more stimulation, it is best to make the angle of your body more parallel to the ground
4. There is another detail hidden in your wrist. Because the action direction is to "pull", the strength of the hands will definitely be used. Some people may use their wrists inadvertently, but after practicing, their arms will feel the most.
