Landmine Row

This row is like dragging a picnic basket close to your bear den. Hinge over, grab the handle, and pull with steady control to build a thicker back, stronger arms, and a grip that means business.

Instructions

1. Stand over the bar and grab the handle firmly.
2. Hinge at the hips and bend your knees slightly.
3. Brace your core and keep your chest up.
4. Pull the handle toward your lower chest.
5. Squeeze your back at the top briefly.
6. Lower the weight slowly to the start.
