Single Arm Row with Dumbbell
Place one hand on a bench for support. Keep your back straight in a tabletop position or at 45 degree leaning forward.
Hold a dumbbell in the opposite hand, arm extended beneath your shoulder. This is the starting position.
Initiate the row by pulling the dumbbell straight up toward your torso, keeping your elbow tucked close to your side.
Focus on squeezing your back muscles at the top of the movement near your underarm.
Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position with control. Don't let it drop.
Repeat for reps on one side then switch and perform on the other side to work both sides evenly.
Use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form and squeeze your back fully at the top.
Pull the dumbbell straight up rather than swinging or rocking to work the back muscles properly.
Avoid rounding your spine. Keep it neutral throughout the movement.
