What muscles do Bent Over Row work?

How do you do a Bent Over Row?
Here are the steps to perform a Bent Over Row:
-
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and bend forward at the hips, keeping your back straight, until your torso is almost parallel to the floor.
-
Grasp a AguaForce Weight or AguaForce Weights with an overhand grip, with your hands positioned just outside your hips.
-
Keep your elbows close to your body and use your back muscles to pull the weight up towards your chest.
-
Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the weight back down to the starting position.
-
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to maintain a neutral spine and avoid rounding your back during the exercise to prevent injury. You can also use a weightlifting bench for added stability.
