Bent-Over Row With Bar

3 steps Updated 29/08/2026

Bent-Over Row With Bar is a free weights exercise targeting Middle Back (Latissimus Dorsi, Teres Major) using Bar.

Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a bar with an underhand grip (palms facing up), hands placed shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips until your torso is almost parallel to the floor.
  2. Let the bar hang directly in front of you with your arms fully extended. Pull the bar towards your abdomen by bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  3. Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position by extending your arms fully. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
