Smith Machine Bent Over Row

Smith machine rows are great for building a thick upper back while limiting momentum and form breakdown. FitnessTracker recommends this for users who want guided resistance with adjustable control.

Instructions

1. Set the bar just below knee height and load it with your chosen weight.
2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips until your torso is nearly parallel to the ground.
3. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip and unlock it from the rack.
4. Pull the bar toward your lower chest, squeezing your back muscles at the top.
5. Lower slowly and repeat. Keep your core engaged throughout.
