Gorilla Row

ExercisesGeneral Training
Written By

The gorilla row uses a bracing arm against the ground to anchor and allow for heavier rowing and bigger gains.

Cues:

  • Brace in a powerful stance and lock your supporting elbow strongly to support your torso

  • Row the dumbbell by retracting and depressing your scap as you pull up with your arm

Mistakes:

  • Shrugging the shoulders towards the ears as you row

  • Allowing shoulders to roll forward when rowing

  • Rounding the low back

  • Standing too upright/failing to make torso horizontal
