Dumbbell Head-Supported Row
Two dumbbells rowed from a deep hinge with only the forehead resting on a low incline bench, the torso near level.
How to do it
Setup
Standing at the end of a low incline bench, hinged until the forehead rests on its top, bells hanging.
Steps
- Row the bells to the hips, elbows along the body.
- Keep the forehead on the pad without pushing into it.
- Lower to a long hang.
Common mistakes
Pressing the head hard into the bench: it only touches; the back holds the hinge. Standing up between reps: the torso stays level. Rounding the lower back: bend the knees more.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
