Bent Over Row Underhand

An upper body pulling exercise that targets the back and biceps while reinforcing proper hinge positioning.

How to Do It

• Stand holding a barbell or dumbbells with an underhand grip.
• Hinge at your hips and lower your torso to about a 45° angle.
• Keep your core braced and spine neutral.
• Pull the weight toward your lower ribs or waist.
• Squeeze your back at the top.
• Lower the weight with control.

Key Cues

• Keep your chest slightly lifted.
• Pull elbows back, not just hands.
• Keep the weight close to your body.

Common Mistakes

• Rounding through the back.
• Standing too upright (turning it into a shrug).
• Using momentum instead of control.
