Make every rep count.
- 01
Set an incline bench to about 45° and lie face-down with your chest supported. Plant your feet firmly for stability.
- 02
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Let your arms hang straight down.
- 03
Brace your core and keep your neck neutral. Start the pull by drawing your shoulder blades back and down, then drive your elbows behind you.
- 04
Row the dumbbells up toward your ribs until your elbows reach around your torso’s midline (or just past). Keep your shoulders out of your ears and avoid twisting.
- 05
Pause briefly, then lower slowly to a full stretch with control—don’t let the weights drop.
- 06
Repeat for your target reps while keeping your chest glued to the bench.
