Master the Dumbbell Bent Over Row Tips ! 💪
1. Hip-width stance, deadlift weights: Start with feet hip-width apart for stability and deadlift the weights to get into position, engaging your posterior chain.
2. Arms slightly externally rotated, elbows slightly bent: This engages lats and biceps effectively while protecting your shoulder joints.
3. Shoulders down, hinge at hips: Keeps shoulders away from ears to activate lats, and hinging engages hamstrings and glutes.
4. Tighten core, neutral neck: Stabilizes spine to prevent lower back strain, maintaining a neutral neck position for proper posture.
5. Elbows at 45-degree angle, pull towards upper stomach: Maximizes lat engagement, minimizing shoulder strain.
6. Squeeze shoulder blades at the top: Enhances scapular stability
