How to perform it

  1. 01 Place one hand and the same-side knee on a bench, with your other foot planted on the floor.
  2. 02 Hold a dumbbell in your free hand with your arm straight and your back flat and level.
  3. 03 Brace your core, then row the dumbbell to the side of your ribs by driving your elbow back and up.
  4. 04 Squeeze your shoulder blade in at the top of the pull.
  5. 05 Lower under control until your arm is straight again and your shoulder blade travels forward.
  6. 06 Keep your hips square to the floor — do not twist your torso to lift the weight.
