Welcome to the full guide on how to perform T-Bar Row from Built Fit. Below you will learn how to perfect your form and technique for this exercise. Be sure to read the information on how to start and perform the exercise and then view the images and video to see it in action. Built Fit stresses the importance on perfecting the form of T-Bar Row before you begin adding additional weight.
Starting Position: Load the desired weight on the bar and stand straddling the bar. Bend forward, keeping a slight knee bend and head looking forward, and grasp the handles.
The Exercise: Slowly pull the bar up toward the chest, rolling the shoulder blades together and down. Once the bar touches the chest, lower it slowly back to the starting position and repeat.
Tips: Changing where the bar touches when it is lifted will change the target area slightly. Bringing the bar high up on the chest will place more of the stress on the rhomboids and trapezius, while bringing it lower toward the upper stomach area will stress the lower latissimus dorsi muscles.
