Underhand Barbell Row: how to do it and form tips

A barbell row with a supinated (palms-up) grip that shifts more emphasis to the lower lats and biceps compared to the standard overhand row. Allows a stronger contraction.

Form tips

  1. Use a shoulder-width underhand grip with palms facing up.
  2. Pull the bar into your lower abdomen — not your chest.
  3. The supinated grip naturally pulls the elbows tight to your sides for better lat activation.
