The execution of this exercise is very similar to the regular bent over rowing, only that the bar is fixed here.

Grab the barbell with a wide grip (slightly more than shoulder wide) and lean forward. Your upper body is not quite parallel to the floor, but forms a slight angle. The chest's out during the whole exercise. Pull now the barbell with a fast movement towards your belly button, not further up. Go slowly down to the initial position. Don't swing with your body and keep your arms next to your body.

• Don't arch your back!
• Go somewhat down in your knees and pull back
