Barbell row with underhand grip

Start by standing shoulder-width apart. Grab the barbell with an overhand grip. Your feet are firmly planted on the ground, slightly bent knees providing stability. To achieve the optimal starting position, lean your upper body forward until it forms an angle of 45-90 degrees. The back maintains a slight arch while you extend your chest forward.

Movement execution

Now exhale and pull the barbell towards you, targeting the lower abdominal muscles. The lower back remains in a consistent position throughout the entire movement. Inhale as you return the barbell to the starting position.
