How To: Bent Over Barbell Row 

thank you ripped black man i appreciated the vid

Gym looks like a jet hanger. Damn..

For years and I mean for years, I've tried this. It never worked, I listened to the wrong people or watched bad videos on how to do it. But this changed everything! I never comment much on RU-vid videos about this stuff, so congrats! You made me finally work it properly!

tsssssssssss 🐍

That gym looks awesome

Thanks Gabriel, literally watching this as I'm doing barbell row

this guy has some of the strongest looking abs ive ever seen

Wassup bro. The grips variation hits different areas of the back. I find this grip hits more of the lower lat as opposed to the upper back ie. rhomboids

Saw the clip, only like 20 seconds long. I finally got the muscles burning just right. I struggled to find the right posture for a few years. Bro you are Godsent. Simple, concise and to the point!

Man I’m glad you posted this I finally feel my back getting worked out! Thank you so much for the video!

I think he has a tire leaking

Excellent, concise, and spared us long explanations of muscles used, possibilities, etc. Great vid!

Just found your channel in the last month or so so I've been watching all new(er) videos. Awesome to see what they were like 5 years ago, and how far you've come quality wise in the videos (not the exercises, you've always killed those ;) )

came back here just to appreciate how you have come a long way mate . Real motivation right . Never give up !

Great exercise! Can can this exercise also be done while wearing a shirt or is it mandatory to take your shirt off?

Thanks, nice and straightforward, good viewing angles and a clear explanation. Just what I needed.

Great demonstration, I've always had problems with this exercise. Gonna have to try this version with underhand grip today.

I like how you go straight to the point. Moat other youtubers do like 5 mins intro then 2 mins commercial anither 3 mins bashing the wring usage of the movr and FINALLY the correct posture. It hets annoying quickly but you're cutting straight to the point and are actually very informative. Earned a sub, krep up the great job!

Great, really helped me out - I'm currently suffering pain over top of shoulders and back of neck from doing bent over rows incorrectly - now I know where I'm going wrong! Although I've been doing overhand grip, so maybe changing that'll help too.

watched several videos for this over the last couple of months, but this one seems to nail it on the head for me.

This is a great video, I always come back to view this when I need to revisit better form for barbell rows.

Thank you so much, I’ve been doing this exercise wrong for at least a month or two. Appreciate you

Thanks bro never tried this before. I instantly felt it in my middle back section. Low and straight back, hands to hip - it works!

this is the perfect how to video short and to the point. this is what exactly a how to video looks like Thanks

My favourite fitness channel. This dude knows how to give a tutorial. Keep em coming.

Forearms are a secondary for a lot of back workouts from just clenching on to a lot of weight, so after any back workout everyone will have a good forearm pump. Just make sure you're keep your elbows in and back over your hips (but still straight) like in this video and you should be also training your back.

Yessss londoners makin these vids, about time! Cheers for the advice bro

Eliott Hulse, the man with real strenght and great advice!

My gym partner always persuade me to add more weight and you raised a really good point. Excellent man !! I hope I'll build up some back muscles :)

Thanks, Gabriel. You helped me perfect my form today.

Great video Mr Sey, with clear instruction. Thank you.

This video is awsome , finally somebody who explains it properly! :)

Great tutorial, finally have my form right with this.

thank you for the tssssss. now i can memorize inhales-exhales on various exercises

Great Video Thanks. Have been avoiding this exercise as I couldn't seem to get it right when I tried. Have a lot more confidence when doing it after watching this other tutorials just didn't do it for me for some reason

Great advice, totally felt my back engage

Nicely done and very helpful.

Just watched this in between my sets at the gym and it changed my form straight away

Thank you Gabriel, I'm watching you from Istanbul

Thanks for the form technique tips I'm going to try this again

This exercises are so good!

Quick and straight to the point..

Short n sweet. Thanks dude.

it is so satisfying to see that muscle squeezing correctly. Nice job

Thanks for your tutorial here, really helped me

Tssssss, Nice form Snake Man..!

@Saac06 the main thing is to keep your posture correct with a straight back through the movement

very helpful video man keep up the good work

This guys 'tsssss' is the reason I'll walk out the gym if I've forgotten my headphones

This was very helpful, thank you 👍

Great demonstration, thanks a lot.

Really simple and helpful instructions. This gym noob thanks you.

Thanks man,nice and very useful info.

@Saac06 yeah you can. Either way is fine to hit more areas of the back.

Thanks in a million. Great content.

Thanks man Been training a month time, Never done this exercise (yes aware that’s crazy) this helped 👍

this makes a lot of sense in back safety. thank you so much! i will try this asap. my back is hurting all the time because I am doing the explosive motion from the ground, i see now that positioning it 1st above the ground then pulling is much safer

I always go back to this video, when I wanna make sure that I'm doing this exercise properly.

as a newbie, your channel rocks :-)

Thanks very much brillant i just start and i'm proud of this routine i like your basic much love

You did a good explanation of the target muscle, some viewers mistaken this form involving the major lats which is the Pendlay row. It would have been nice to demonstrate both bent over row and Pendlay row for instructional purpose. Another confusion people have is the seated military press ( front/back) and the standing over head press, explain muscle isolation and true form.

Some Tips about Bent Over Barbell Row.. Holding a barbell with a pronated grip (palms facing down), bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward, by bending at the waist, while keeping the back straight until it is almost parallel to the floor. Tip: Make sure that you keep the head up. The barbell should hang directly in front of you as your arms hang perpendicular to the floor and your torso. This is your starting position. Now, while keeping the torso stationary, breathe out and lift the barbell to you. Keep the elbows close to the body and only use the forearms to hold the weight. At the top contracted position, squeeze the back muscles and hold for a brief pause. Then inhale and slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Wow this actually works! Its crazy!

Nice Explanation!

Thank you that was very informative.

It's nice to see that you used an underhand grip. Many people use overhand, which not only makes it harder, but also doesn't target the lats as harshly, much like the difference between pull-ups (overhand) and chin-ups (underhand). But, I'm sure you already knew that :D

Nice tutorial, thanks.

I've had the same feeling, but I've opted to switch to overhand. BBRs with underhand grip have a very, very high risk of bicep tears, I've recently learned.

excellent tutorial, simple but very informative.

amazing, thanks for the info, brother

great video. very good form!

Very helpful mate, thank you. No bullshit straight to the point

great video man. what is the difference between the underhand grip i saw you use and the overhand grip that i usually see with this exercise. muscle group difference or just preference?

Awesome tutorial bro, I'm gonna try this tomorrow. I dig your English accent btw, to us Americans it's the coolest & most pleasant to hear. Haha

@MikeWeezie thanks man. Yeah I know it's not the conventional way. I want to show viewers other ways of doing exercises. Variations they may not have done before.

THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE !

Thanks good demonstration

Im gunna sub, liking the tutorials

Thanks felt great plus I was doing wrong before

this video helped me correct my form !! thnx

Good guide, thank you.

This dude is awesome. Thanks for the demo.

Good video, thanks for posting
