Bent-over row
A bent-over row (or barbell row) is a weight training exercise that targets a variety of back muscles depending on the form used. It usually targets the back muscles, and the arm muscles. It is often used for both bodybuilding and powerlifting.

Being supervised by someone experienced in doing the lift can benefit beginners who would not be aware of unsafe postures. Some things that people do with the desire of safety are:[citation needed]
