Exercise Description: Bent Over Barbell Row - Overhand Grip

Specs: Muscles Worked: The primary muscles worked during barbell rows are the Lats (Back). Secondarily are the Biceps, Forearms, Shoulders, and Lower Back.

Instructions: 1) Stand with feet hip width and knees slightly bent. 2) Start position: Bend at hips with back straight. Hold BB shoulder width apart with overhand grip (palms toward body) and let arms straight down (perpendicular to floor). 3) Pull BB up to chest region squeeze shoulder blades together at top of movement. 4) Return to start position. Keep elbows close to body from start to finish. 5) Remember to keep back and head straight - hyperextension or flexion may cause injury.

(Please note - The performance of the bent over the row is basically the same with either grip)
