What should you pay attention to when doing standing barbell bent-over rowing?

Many boys always think that they need to have some muscles to show their masculinity, but nowadays schools rarely let students engage in strenuous activities, and their families will not let them do heavy labor, so many boys always have a lot of soft flesh but no muscles. At this time, you might as well do some exercises on your own, such as standing barbell bent-over rowing, but you must pay attention to the correct posture and be careful not to get hurt.

Barbell bent-over rowing exercise tips:

1. Stand with your hands in a wide grip, slightly wider than your shoulders, and your arms fully extended; bend your knees slightly, bend your back from the hips, and keep your body at a 45-degree angle; hold the bell in front of your body, slightly below your knees.

2. Tighten your shoulder blades, tense your entire upper body, and lift the barbell to your upper abdomen.

3. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower the bell to return to the starting position; repeat the above steps until you complete a set of training.

Barbell bent-over rowing notes:

1. When trying this method for the first time, use a slightly lighter weight and lift slowly to feel the contraction of the upper back and rear shoulder muscles.

2. Try to avoid involving your legs and hips in the lift; keep your knees slightly bent throughout the movement, and the angle of your upper body should remain the same; your elbows should be facing the ceiling at the end of the lift, and at the top of the movement, contract your shoulders and squeeze to fully contract the trapezius muscles to build muscle thickness.

3. If you are not careful during this exercise, it is easy to injure your waist and lower back, so keep your back tight throughout the entire lifting movement and maintain good control of the barbell. Be sure not to lift the barbell too hard or lower it suddenly.

4. Influence of grip method: The wide grip of the overhand grip can lift the barbell higher along the body, which can increase the thickness of the upper latissimus dorsi, middle trapezius and rhomboid muscles; the close grip of the underhand grip can only lift the barbell to the height of the navel, but can better impact the lower latissimus dorsi, and the biceps are also involved, thus dispersing the strength of the back.

Persisting in doing the barbell bent-over rowing exercise can exercise the latissimus dorsi and teres major. If you persist in doing this exercise, the muscles on a boy's body will become more developed. However, for this kind of weight-bearing exercise, you must proceed step by step and not rush for quick results.
