How to do Kettlebell Single-Arm Row

Setup

Place one hand on a bench or brace it against your thigh for support with your back flat and roughly parallel to the floor. Hold a kettlebell in the free hand hanging straight below your shoulder.

How to do it

  1. Row the kettlebell up toward your hip, driving your elbow back past your torso
  2. Squeeze your shoulder blade toward your spine at the top
  3. Lower fully until your arm is straight, feeling a stretch in your lat
  4. Keep your torso square and avoid rotating to lift the weight

Watch out for

  • Twisting the torso or hips to heave the kettlebell up with momentum
  • Pulling the elbow straight up instead of back toward the hip, which shortens lat engagement
