How to Preform T-Bar Rows
Step 1
Put a barbell in the landmine attachment of the power rack.
Step 2
Attach your desired handle and add your weights.
Step 3
Set-up with your feet straddling the barbell at about shoulder width and grab the handles.
Step 4
Open your chest, pull your shoulders down and back, and take a breath in to brace. Keep your back neutral throughout the movement.
Step 5
Pull the barbell by driving your elbows to your hips and squeeze your shoulder blades together while you exhale.
Step 6
Lower the bar back down until your arms are extended and take another breath.
Pro-Tip: Increasing Range of Motion
Use Smaller Weights
Using plates that are smaller in diameter can allow you to bring the bar closer to your torso. Try using 25 and 10 pounds metal plates.
Add Platforms Under Your Feet
Putting platforms under your feet can allow for more hinging and a longer stretch at the base of the movement.
