POV you're doing barbell rows for a defined back but they're not working

Bent over barbell row tutorial ⬇️⬇️ The bent over barbell row is a great exercise for building a defined, strong back but it’s also one of the easiest to get wrong. Here’s some cues to help you feel it where you’re supposed to. @AYBL dc NEENY (wearing physique long sleeve crop top and muted olive adapt shorts - up to 60% off sale starts 27 July!) 🔗 learn more and train with me on my app Tip before you start: Set the barbell in a rack about thigh height if you can. This saves you having to deadlift the weight into position from the floor and helps you get into a strong, stable setup before every set without using unnecessary energy. Use an overhand grip just outside shoulder width, and push your hips back into a hinge, just like the movement of an RDL. Aim for your torso to be as parallel to the floor as your mobility allows. This is your starting position and should feel comfortable to stay in. Just think about keeping your shoulders away from your ears (not shrugged up) and maintaining a neutral spine and neck throughout. If you’re wearing soft, squishy trainers, try taking them off for a more stable base. Wobbly shoes will make it more difficult to stay balanced. Keep your weight through the middle of your feet and push the floor with your toes and heels for maximum stability. Brace your core and let your arms hang down so the bar sits directly beneath your shoulders. Start the rep by driving your elbows back and out slightly. Row the barbell towards your mid/lower ribs, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top without shrugging your shoulders. Control the barbell on the way down and try to avoid using unnecessary momentum on the way up, try to keep your body position consistent through each rep. Once you’ve mastered the movement, load it up and use straps if needed. #gym #backday #barbellrow #backworkout #GymTok
