How to Do the Barbell Row

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Bend forward at the hips while keeping your back straight and chest up. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Pull the barbell towards your lower chest by retracting your shoulder blades and squeezing your back muscles. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
