Barbell Row

1. Stand with your feet about shoulder-with apart. Bend forward at the hip and grab a barbell with your hands just outside your shoulders.

2. With your upper body held stable at a slight angle to horizontal, pull the barbell up to your midsection, then return it to starting position. Make sure to look straight ahead throughout the movement and maintain a slight curve in the lower back.
