How to do it

Barbell Meadows row: exercise position

Barbell Meadows row

Single-arm row with the end of an anchored bar, in a staggered stance and with a path toward the hip.

Form. Place your hips away from the anchor, fix the torso and guide the elbow back without rotating the chest to find extra range.

Common mistake. Turning the torso, rounding the back, shrugging the shoulder, or turning the rep into a hip jerk.
