How to do the T-Bar Row with Handle
- 1
Position a bar into a landmine or in a corner to keep it from moving. Load an appropriate weight onto your end.
- 2
Stand over the bar, and position a Double D row handle around the bar next to the collar. Using your hips and legs, rise to a standing position.
- 3
Assume a wide stance with your hips back and your chest up. Your arms should be extended. This will be your starting position.
- 4
Pull the weight to your upper abdomen by retracting the shoulder blades and flexing the elbows. Do not jerk the weight or cheat during the movement.
- 5
After a brief pause, return to the starting position.
Log it, see it on your body.
