How To Do Horizontal Bodyweight Rows

  • Grasp a barbell or two straps placed about hip height with a wider than shoulder-width grip. It would be ideal to start with your bench press grip width.
  • With your legs extended and core braced to create a horizontal straight line from head to heels, create an external rotation torque with your hands as you pull your elbows behind you. This bodyweight row is the reverse of the bench press motion.
  • Try to get your elbows behind you to finish the motion.
  • Lower yourself under control as you allow your elbows to relax back into their original position, facing out.
