Unilateral dumbbell row

This is an interesting variant for your back. Leaning against a bench or standing with your back tilted and flat, you choose.

The dumbbells must be controlled during the descent on this exercise which combines a continuous muscular growth and a work of strength.

You will work mainly the upper back but also the abdominals, biceps, lats, lumbar and shoulders.

This is the right instructions  for the unilateral dumbbell row

• 1. Have a dumbbell on the ground and on each side of the bench. Leaning against a bench with the knee and hand on the same side (see video), bend the bust at 45 degrees and keep your back flat. Here is the starting position.
• 2. Hold the dumbbell on the ground with one hand and pull it upward keeping the elbow as close to the body as possible. And that taking a deep breath.
• 3. While exhaling, release muscle tension to lower the dumbbell to the initial position.
• 4. Continue your series by repeating the movement. And go to the other side taking care of you straighten and then replace you not to overload your lumbar.
