A trainer breaks down the one-arm dumbbell row, showing how heavier weight causes your hips to rotate and kill your form. She fixes it with a tripod stance and a cue to press your fist into your mid-back, keeping your spine locked and your back working harder.
The right way to do a one-arm row. So usually I put one knee on the bench, grabbing the dumbbell and rowing away. Now, the reason why I don't like this row is you can already see, I mean, she's holding good stability as she's doing it, but when the weight does start to get heavy, people's hips start to shift and the stability aspect of it starts to rotate, which is not what we want when doing the one-arm row. We're going to set up with a tripod position. When we're set up like this, you can already see how the hips stay even. So crush my fist in the middle of your back. Perfect. So we're getting nice and stable when we do this.
