Primary muscles: Middle Back

Secondary muscles: Biceps, Lats, Traps

How to do it

  1. Place a cambered bar underneath an exercise bench.
  2. Lie face down on the exercise bench and grab the bar using a palms down (pronated grip) that is wider than shoulder width. This will be your starting position.
  3. As you exhale row the bar up as you keep the elbows close to your body to either your chest, in order to target the upper mid back, or to your stomach if targeting the lats is your goal.
  4. After a second hold at the top, lower back down to the starting position slowly as you inhale.

It also credits this work toward your weekly Middle Back volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
