Renegade Row

FrançaisEspañol

Technique guide

Set-up

  • Start in a straight-arm plank, gripping a dumbbell in each hand under your shoulders.
  • Set your feet wider than hip-width for balance.

How to do it

  1. Row one dumbbell up towards your hip while pressing the other into the floor.
  2. Lower it under control back to the floor.
  3. Repeat on the other side; each row counts as one rep.

Coaching cues

  • Keep your hips square to the floor as you row.
  • Brace your stomach and squeeze your glutes.

Common mistakes

  • Twisting the hips up as the dumbbell rises.
  • Letting the hips sag towards the floor.

Safety

  • Use hex dumbbells that won’t roll, and drop to your knees to make it easier.
