EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. SETUP: If your gym doesn’t have a T-bar setup, you can create one by loading one side of a barbell into the corner of a power rack and using a standard Double D-handle or straight-bar handle (see video). Put some weight on the handled end of the bar and take an overhand-grip. I like to get into position before lifting the bar from the floor, so set your feet wide and hinge at the waist to create a 45 degree angle with your upper body.
  2. REP: Row the bar by towards your belly button. Focus on pulling your elbows back, forcefully contracting your lats.
  3. TIP: Don’t make the mistake of standing too far back or attaching the handle too far back. We wanna be near the end of the weighted side, otherwise the weight will be impossible to lift and will hurt your back (I can still remember the pain I felt from doing this 13 years ago!.
