How to do it

  1. Wedge one end of the bar into a landmine or corner and load the other end.
  2. Stand at the loaded end with the bar running across in front of you, in a staggered stance.
  3. Hinge forward, rest your free forearm on your front thigh, and grab the end of the bar overhand.
  4. Row the bar up to the side of your torso, driving your elbow up and back, then lower it under control until your arm is straight.
  5. Keep your hips and shoulders 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.
