Gorilla Row: how to do it and form tips

A bilateral dumbbell row with both dumbbells on the floor, alternating rows without setting them down. Challenges grip, mid-back, and core anti-rotation simultaneously.

Form tips

  1. Stand over the dumbbells in a hip-hinged position with a flat back.
  2. Row one dumbbell while the other stays planted for balance and bracing.
  3. Keep your hips square — resist rotating toward the rowing side.
