How to do it
- Put one knee and the same-side hand on a flat bench, with your other foot on the floor.
- Hold the dumbbell in your free hand, arm hanging straight below your shoulder, back flat.
- Row the dumbbell toward your hip, keeping your elbow close to your body.
- Lower it slowly until your arm is straight and you feel a stretch along your side.
- Keep your shoulders and hips square; don't twist your torso to lift the weight.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
