Dumbbell Rows Functional Back Exercise

There are many ways to perform dumbbell rows.

The most functional way is to have a wide base leg. If you are rowing with your right arm, your left knee would be on the bench, and your right leg should be out about a foot to a foot and a half.

Always keep the base leg slightly bent, this ensures you will not compensate solely with your lower back.

You can have a slight torso rotation while you lift the dumbbell. This is functional like many pulling activities.

You can also perform the dumbbell row as a strict isolation exercise. You could also perform without the bench.
