Technique

How to perform T-Bar Row with Handle

  1. Secure the unloaded barbell end in the landmine attachment or in the documented corner setup so it cannot slide.
  2. Load the free end and place the Double-D row handle beneath the bar near the loaded collar.
  3. Stand astride the bar, grip the handle with palms facing each other, and lift into a controlled hip-hinged position.
  4. Keep the knees slightly bent and the torso angle steady with your arms extended.
  5. Pull the handle toward your upper abdomen, letting the elbows travel beside the torso and the shoulder blades retract.
  6. Lower the bar slowly and allow a controlled forward shoulder-blade reach without jerking your back upright.
  7. Return the loaded end to the floor under control when finished.
