ROWS

Set Up

  • Feet wider than shoulder width apart

  • Core tight through a full exhale, half an inhale

  • Sternum lifted, with shoulders pulled back and down

Execution

  • Flare your knees as you reach back with your hips to feel a stretch in your hamstrings

  • Once you cannot lower any further, consciously squeeze your glutes as you drive your upper back into the bar


If you do not actively flare your knees during this movement, you will lose a significant amount of range of motion as well as implicating your lower back during the movement.

CUES to be USED

Pulled Back Shoulder

Actively/consciously driving your knees outwards during the entire movement?????

Lifted Sternum

Shifting your hips backwards, as if you're trying to "reach" a wall behind you. This should result in a stretch feeling of your hamstrings.??????
