Barbell Rows
Barbell Rows are a strength training exercise that primarily targets the muscles in the back, particularly the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius. To perform this exercise, you bend at the hips and knees while holding a barbell with both hands. The barbell is then pulled towards your torso, engaging the back muscles.
This exercise can be performed in various styles, such as the bent-over row or the Pendlay row, each emphasizing different muscle groups. Proper form is essential to avoid injury and maximize effectiveness, making it important to keep the back straight and core engaged throughout the movement.
