One-arm Row

Target Muscles

Latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboids, infraspinatus, teres major and minor.
Also used Biceps, posterior deltoids.
Starting Position

* Hold a dumbbell in your right hand, palm facing your body.
* Bend forwards from the hips, placing your
left hand and knee on a bench to stabilise yourself. Your back should be flat and almost horizontal and your right arm fully extended.

The Movement

* Pull the dumbbell up towards your waist, drawing your elbow back as far as it can go. Keep the dumbbell close to your body.
* Allow the dumbbell to touch your rib cage lightly. Pause for a count of one; then slowly lower the dumbbell until your arm is fully extended.
* After completing the required number of repetitions, perform the exercise with your left arm.

Tips

* Keep your lower back flat and still- do not
twist your trunk.
* Make sure you row the dumbbell to the side of your rib cage - do not pull the dumbbell up to your shoulder.
