How to Perform Barbell T Bar Row
The T-Bar Row is a compound pulling exercise that targets the upper and middle back while also engaging the lats, biceps, and core. Performed with a barbell anchored at one end or using a T-bar machine, the movement involves hinging at the hips with a neutral spine and pulling the weight toward the torso by driving the elbows back. Proper form emphasizes controlled movement, a stable torso, and strong scapular retraction to maximize back activation and reduce strain on the lower back.
