Start with feet shoulder-width apart and torso bent forward to at least a 45-degree angle at the hips. When rowing with your left arm, slightly stagger your left foot back a bit to facilitate a natural rowing path for the dumbbell, and place your other hand behind your back. There will be a large shift in the load due to the weight of the dumbbell. Attempt to maintain an even position (not tilted) during the entire movement. Start by holding the dumbbell in the center of the body, row the weight up to your rib cage and then back down to the start. Repeat the reps with your other arm.
TIP: Due to the shifting of the body, there is a tendency to perform this exercise in a higher position than the other rowing exercises. Remember to maintain an appropriate torso position with your knees bent, torso leaning forward at least 45 degrees, and lower back flat.
