    How to: Barbell One Arm Bent over Row

    1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell in one hand.
    2. Bend slightly at the waist, keeping your back straight.
    3. Lower the barbell towards the ground and then pull it back up towards your hip while engaging your back muscles.
    4. Lower the barbell back down in a controlled manner and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

    Common Mistakes

    • Using momentum to lift the weight instead of muscle strength.
    • Not engaging the core, which may lead to poor form.
    • Allowing the shoulder to hunch instead of keeping it stable.

    Modifications

    • Use lighter weights to start if you are a beginner.
    • Perform the exercise with one knee resting on a bench for support.

    Tips

    • Keep your back straight and avoid twisting during the lift.
    • Engage your core to stabilize your body.
    • Focus on a controlled motion to maximize muscle engagement.
