EZ-Bar Reverse-Grip Bent-Over Row
The underhand bent-over row with an EZ-bar; its angled grips turn the palms part way in, easier on the wrists than a straight bar held palms up.
How to do it
Setup
Hinged to about 45°, back flat, knees soft, the EZ-bar held underhand on its inner bends.
Steps
- Row the bar to the belly, elbows brushing the body.
- Squeeze the blades at the top without curling.
- Lower along the thighs to long arms.
Common mistakes
Taking the straight part of the bar: grip the bends; that is why this bar is here. Curling the weight: the elbows drive. Torso rising each rep: the hinge holds.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
