How to do it
Brace your core before each repetition to stabilize the hinged torso.
- 1
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a bottle weight in each hand with palms facing your body.
- 2
Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at your hips, keeping your back straight.
- 3
Let the weights hang down in front of you, then row them towards your hips, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- 4
Lower the weights back to the starting position with control.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your back flat and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Focus on pulling with your back muscles rather than your arms.
