The alternating bent over row is pulling exercise that places additional emphasis on core strength as well as the hips and hamstrings.
Cues:
- Hinge to approximately 90 degrees and row one DB to the chest, alternating each rep
- Retract and depress the scap as you row
- Keep the lat tight on the non-rowing arm to stabilize the torso
- Neck should stay long and relaxed
Mistakes:
- Shrugging the shoulders towards the ears as you row
- Allowing shoulders to roll forward when rowing
- Rounding the low back
- Standing too upright/failing to make torso horizontal
