One-Arm Dumbbell Row

by Jace

One side at a time, so the working arm and the muscles of the upper back get the full load without the stronger side helping.

How to do it

  1. Put one hand and the same-side knee on a bench — or brace that hand on a sturdy surface — so the back is roughly parallel to the floor and the other arm holds the dumbbell.
  2. Let the dumbbell hang straight down, then pull it to the hip with the elbow close to the body.
  3. Lower all the way until the arm is long and the shoulder blade travels forward.
  4. Keep the shoulders level — no twisting to get the last rep.
