Bent Over Row
Stability through the low back, and lumbar spine allows for maintaining your posture throughout your swing, and allows a transfer of power from the lower body to the upper body and arms
Starting position:
Always be sure to start by picking up the weight in a safe manner and inform. Start with the weight in hand, standing upright. To get into position hinge from the hips keeping the lower leg perpendicular to the ground, in maintaining a neutral posture. Starting angle of the hips may vary from an athletic posture down two where your torso is parallel to the ground.
Movement:
Start the pulling motion by retracting the shoulder blades, then continue to retract the shoulders as you pull the elbows directly past your rib cage. Maintain neutral spine, and keep shoulders retracted throughout movement. Return to start position.
Notes: Various weights can be used
