What is the Standing Barbell Row?

For friends who love fitness or weight loss, the words standing barbell rowing must be familiar to them. But there are also many friends who don’t exercise and don’t know what standing barbell rowing is. Standing barbell rowing, as the name suggests, is an exercise that uses a barbell. We all know that barbell fitness is very common, so today we will learn about the standing barbell rowing action. Let's take a look!

Barbell standing rowing mainly exercises the latissimus dorsi. Do 5 sets of 8 reps every other day, resting for 4-5 minutes between sets. 1. Stand with your hands slightly wider than your shoulders, with your hands clasped together. 2. Tighten your shoulder blades, tense your entire upper body, and lift the barbell to your abdomen. 3. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower the barbell to the starting position and repeat the above movements until you complete a set of training.

Except for special rowing machines, rowing movements are mainly performed with barbells and dumbbells, which is technically called "barbell rowing" or "dumbbell rowing". There are four ways to grip the barbell rowing exercise: narrow grip, medium grip, wide grip and parallel grip. Different grip lengths and grip methods exercise different parts of the body.

Wide grip and parallel grip focus on developing the upper latissimus dorsi muscle group; medium grip focuses on developing the middle and upper latissimus dorsi muscle group; narrow grip focuses on developing the middle and lower latissimus dorsi muscle group. There are two main ways to practice rowing with dumbbells: holding the bell with both hands and holding the bell with one hand. One-handed dumbbell rowing has different postures depending on habits and conditions. One is to hold the bell in one hand and support the other hand on the knee; the other is to hold the bell in one hand, stand upright on the leg on the same side, and kneel and support the other leg and hand on a stool. The latter type of single-leg kneeling one-handed rowing can better concentrate the strength of the latissimus dorsi and reduce the burden on the legs and waist and back muscles, so most bodybuilders use this method.
