How to do the Bent Over Rowing Reverse

  1. The same as regular rowing, but holding a reversed grip (your palms pointing forwards):
  2. Grab the barbell with a wide grIp (slightly more than shoulder wide) and lean forward. Your upper body is not quite parallel to the floor, but forms a slight angle. The chest's out during the whole exercise.
  3. Pull now the barbell with a fast movement towards your belly button, not further up. Go slowly down to the initial position. Don't swing with your body and keep your arms next to your body.
