Stand upright while holding a barbell with a double-overhand, medium-width grip, and your feet under your hips. Perform a hip hinge and bend over, allowing the bar to slide down your thighs until it is right around your knees. Brace your core and row the bar up and back towards your belly, without changing the angle of your torso.

Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, and knees slightly bent. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, shoulder-width, with your palms facing each other. Bend over at a 45-degree angle (no lower) and take a deep breath in. Pull the dumbbells up, toward the sides of your chest, or beside the bottom of your rib cage on an exhale.
