Primary: back · Also works: biceps, rear delts
Equipment
No equipment
Common mistakes
- Standing too upright, so bodyweight never actually loads the arms — walk the feet forward until the lean is obvious
- Pulling with the hands and finishing with the elbows still in front of the torso
- Letting the hips pike back instead of holding a straight line from ear to ankle
Variations
- Single-arm doorway row holding one side of the frame
- Feet further forward for a lower lean angle and more load
