Dumbbell Incline Head-Supported Row

Two dumbbells rowed with the forehead resting on a steeper incline bench, the torso near 45° and the chest free.

How to do it

Setup

Standing behind a steep incline bench, forehead on its top, hinged to about 45°, bells hanging.

Steps

Row the bells to the lower ribs.
Let only the forehead touch the pad.
Lower until the arms hang straight.

Common mistakes

Chest sinking onto the bench: that is the chest-supported row; keep the chest free. Neck bending back to watch: eyes down. Torso rising as the set tires: hold the 45°.

Breathing

Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
