Floor Row
A simple way to build upper back strength without equipment. To perform it, lie on your back, bend your elbows and imagining you’re trying to pull your arms through the floor in a rowing motion. Hold strong, build the contraction and really feel those back muscles activating!
Performance Tips
Keep your shoulders relaxed away from your ears.
Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Ensure your elbows are pressed hard into the ground throughout the hold.
Don’t arch your lower back. Keep your glutes engaged to support your spine.
Breathe normally and don’t hold your breath as you press.
To make the exercise harder/easier simply apply more/less force.
To increase comfort place some cushions under your elbows.
