Barbell Row

01 / Set up

Build the position.

1. Choose a clear loading and storage position, then set the feet, hands, and hinge angle with an unloaded bar.
2. Brace the trunk and let the bar hang inside the declared range before beginning the first pull.

02 / Execute

Do the work.

1. Pull the bar toward the lower ribs without changing the hinge angle to create extra range.
2. Pause briefly at the highest controlled position, keeping the wrists and shoulders inside the planned path.
3. Lower the bar slowly, reset the trunk and feet, and end the set before the hinge turns into a standing shrug.

03 / Troubleshoot

Common ways it drifts.

• Adding weight until the torso rises on every repetition
• Pulling past the range that the shoulders and trunk can control
• Starting or ending the set in a crowded loading lane
