How to do it

1. Grab a barbell with an overhand grip at a shoulder-width level or slightly narrower.
2. With the bar in your hands, stand tall, bring your chest out, direct your gaze forward, and position your feet about hip-width apart with toes pointed slightly out.
3. Engage your abs, take a breath, and begin to row the barbell toward your chin by taking your elbows out and to the sides.
4. Row the barbell to collarbone height, hold for a moment, exhale, and lower it to the starting position in a controlled manner.
5. Take another breath and repeat the movement.
