Barbell Row is a full body exercise that primarily targets the work of the lower back, upper back, arms, and hips. They also help develop the traction muscles of the posterior posterior deltoids, trapeziuses, rhomboids, and other small muscles that play an essential role in the shoulder joint and shoulder blades. Their other main functions are to build a more muscular back, bigger biceps, and to widen the shoulders. They are also considered very effective as they can improve our efficiency in performing other exercises such as the bench press, squat, and deadlift.
The right way to perform barbell rows
In order to perform barbell rows efficiently and adequately, you need to do the following steps:
1. The setup The first step is to position your body so that the barbell is lifted off the floor.
Directions
1. Place the barbell on the floor. Please go to the barbell and place your feet so that they are a little narrower than shoulder width apart. Your toes should be sticking out a little, and you should move the barbell so that it is more or less directly under your shoulders.
2. Then stand up straight with your chest straight, inhale air into your stomach, and properly support your abdominal muscles so that it looks like someone is punching you in the stomach.
3. Now move your knees back slightly and push your hips back towards the barbell.
4. Then grasp the barbell with your palms facing down and press it firmly together. Make sure the bar is resting on your fingers, your head is out of alignment, your shoulder is flat, and your eyes are focused on a spot that is at least 3 feet in front of you.
2. The Ascension The second step is to pull the barbell up from the floor towards your torso.
Directions
1. First, pull the bar by stretching out your legs. To do this, lift your hips and pull your elbow up. Make sure your back is flat as you try to raise the bar and that your shoulders escalate with your hips.
2. Keep pulling the barbell until it comes into contact with the base of your chest.
3. You should move the barbell until it is level with your knees. Your legs should be straight so they can easily exceed the size of your knees.
Note: Your head should be aligned with your spine, your core should be tight, and your lower back should be slightly arched.
3. The descent The final step is to lower the bar back down to the starting position.
Directions
First, quickly lower the weight toward the floor until both arms are straight and bend your hips so that the weight quickly drops to the floor.
NOTE-
Your core should stay tight throughout the exercise, and your back should be in the same neutral position. It would be helpful if you lowered the bar permanently, rather than slowly, permanently.
Variations of barbell rows

2. Yates Row- This variation on the barbell row requires a more upright posture.
3rd row of dumbbells This version of the barbell row involves the use of dumbbells instead of barbells.
4th row of seat cables This is practiced with a cable machine.
