How to perform T-Bar Row

  1. Position your feet on either side of the T-Bar near the front so as to keep the load closer to your body.

  3. Assume a wide stance with your hips back and your chest up.
  4. Your arms should be extended.
  5. This will be your starting position.
  6. Pull the weight to your upper abdomen by retracting the shoulder blades and flexing the elbows.
  7. Do not jerk the weight or cheat during the movement.
  8. After a brief pause, return to the starting position.
