Sandbag One Arm Row Tips

  1. Start with a sandbag that challenges your strength but allows for proper form.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and hinge forward from the hips.
  3. Keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the exercise to protect your spine.
  4. Initiate the movement by pulling the sandbag towards your ribcage, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Focus on engaging your upper back muscles, such as the rhomboids and trapezius, to maximize the exercise’s benefits.
  6. Avoid excessive swinging or using momentum; control the movement to fully engage the targeted muscles.
  7. Exhale as you pull the sandbag towards your body and inhale as you lower it back down, maintaining a steady rhythm.
