Row — Cool-Down Beginner: start position, controlled movement and finish position shown as a three-state coaching sequence.

How to do it

  1. Brace one hand on a bench or hinge forward with a long spine. Pull the weight towards your hip, squeeze the shoulder blade back, then lower until the arm is long again.
  2. Keep it controlled enough that you could stop the rep cleanly at any point.

Equipment

Example variations

The written steps above use one library example. These other doses are separate options, not instructions to complete every variation or progress automatically.
