Targets: Arms, Back, Shoulders.
The bent over row is seen as one of the best muscle building exercises for the back and also
for the shoulders.
The bent over row is typically used to build and strengthen the muscles of the upper back.
However, it requires assistance from muscles of the low back, core, and arms to perform a
bent over row correctly.
