How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Place one hand and the same-side knee on a stable bench and hold a dumbbell in the opposite hand beneath your shoulder.
  2. 02Keep your hips square and lower back braced while allowing the working shoulder blade to reach toward the floor.
  3. 03Row the dumbbell toward your ribs and rotate only through your upper back as the elbow travels behind the torso.
  4. 04Stop before your pelvis turns or the movement becomes a forceful lower-back twist.
  5. 05Lower the dumbbell while rotating your chest back toward the floor, complete the set, and switch sides.
