Dumbbell Bent-over Row

PrimarySecondaryNot worked

This movement mainly trains lats, and also recruits Biceps, Rear delts, Traps.

What the movement loads

Horizontal pulling, but each arm carries its own load. The range beats a barbell's, which runs into the torso: the dumbbell keeps going and the lats contract shorter.

How to load it

Eight to fifteen reps per arm. The elbow tracks along the body rather than flaring — an elbow that goes wide turns this into rear-delt work.

The recurring mistake

Rotating the torso to follow the lift. The extra range comes from trunk rotation, not from the back, and the spine takes that twist under load.
