Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Chest supported dumbbell row.
The chest-supported dumbbell incline row has you lie face-down on an incline bench while rowing dumbbells, which removes momentum and lower-back strain. It isolates the upper back, traps, and rear delts for stricter, more controlled pulling.
The Chest supported dumbbell row is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
