How To Do Planck One Arm Dumbbell Rows
You'll need two flat benches, and a dumbbell for this exercise. You should start out with a warm up set, so choose a light weight dumbbell. Place the benches parallel to each other, with enough distance that you can comfortably place your feet on one bench while placing your forearm on the other.
The dumbbell should be positioned on the floor closer to the bench where you are resting your elbow.
Now, place your right forearm on a bench. Next place both feet on the second bench. You need to support your body weight on your forearm and balls of your feet. Keep your back straight and your stomach tight. Reach down and pick up the dumbbell.
While keeping your abdominal muscles tightened, pull the dumbbell upward until it is parallel to your side. Now, lower the dumbbell toward the floor again. That's one rep. Repeat nine more times. After you finish the warm up set you, can choose heavier weights.
What you've just done was the Planck (abdominal exercise) and one arm dumbbell row. Benefits of this combination exercise include:
- strong back
