LANCE BUMGARNER: Right now, I'm going to show you a bent over row exercise using the dumbbell in one arm. This exercise is going to be working your back muscles, your lats, a little bit of your biceps and a little bit of the back of your shoulders. Approach a bench placing one arm on the edge of the bench, your right knee on the bench leaning in, toes straight forward. Reach straight down. I want your arm to be perpendicular with the floor. Grab a hold of your dumbbell, keep your shoulders back, your back straight. Pull that weight right into your hip and get a good contraction in your lat and return the weight back to the starting position. Exhale on the way up; inhale on the way down. It's very important to maintain proper form. Notice I'm moving the weights up and down nice and slow in a controlled manner, not jerking the weights, as this may cause injury. Right here we just did a one arm row exercise using the dumbbell. You're working your back. A few key things to remember is keeping that back straight, your feet straight forward, knee onto the bench, hand placement and perform the exercise. That's how you do a one arm row exercise using the dumbbell.
