Supported DB Rows

Commence the exercise with your feet close together, holding suitably weighted dumbbells in each hand, on the outside of your feet, keeping your arms straight, legs slightly bent, with your back horizontal, resting your forehead on suitably heighten bench.

Aim to keep your back parallel to the floor, whilst lifting the weights from a straight position to an angle of 90 degrees or more, aiming to take the elbows high.

Concentrate on keeping the elbow close to your side, lifting the weight using your back muscles rather than your biceps. Having your forehead in contact with the bench throughout, will help to isolate the back muscles and minimize poor technique.

Hold in the final phase for 1 – 2 seconds before lowering down under control, then repeat for desired amount of reps prior to changing sides.

Aim to keep the weight off the floor throughout your reps in order to keep your back muscles contracted and maximize exercise benefits.
