Barbell Rows Row Lat back Functional Exercise

http://askthetrainer.com/best-back-exercise.html

Barbell Rows are one of the most basic and functional back or lats exercises but it is absolutely you perform them properly or a lower back injury is very possible.

Keep your legs bent and your back flat. Never let your shoulders round. Also keep the weight as close to your center of gravity as possible.

This means the bar should be as close to your body for the whole range of motion.

Keep strict form. If you look in a mirror on the side, your back will be around 45 degrees and when you lift the bar up all the way to your stomach your elbows should be above your back.

If you are healthy and experienced, barbell rows are a great functional exercise for strength.

If you have lower back pain, NEVER do barbell rows, there are many exercises which can work the same muscles.
