Dumbbell Seated Bent-Over Rear Delt Row
Seated on the end of a bench with the chest over the thighs, row the dumbbells out wide; sitting takes the legs and lower back out of it.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the end of a bench, chest folded over the thighs, bells hanging beside the feet.
Steps
- Row the bells up and out, elbows flaring wide.
- Stop with the upper arms level with the back.
- Lower until the arms hang long again.
Common mistakes
Sitting up as you pull: the chest stays on the thighs. Elbows sweeping back along the ribs: that is a back row; flare them. Jerking the bells up: slow on the way up, slower on the way down.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
