Reverse Grip Bent Over Rows

Reverse Grip Bent Over Rows
This is a variation to the much more popular bent over rows, it is designed to target the lower latissimus  dorsi. However, the lower lats are closer to the insertion point and far from the ‘belly’ or middle of the muscle. So because of the location of its target area it won’t do much to initiate overall back development.
It is great however for any experienced lifter looking for variation in their routine, or anyone who is looking to bring up their lower lats so that it can appear as if your lats are ‘springing out’ from your waist. It is also an effective exercise for those with shoulder or joint injuries as it is easier on your shoulders than a pronated grip. At the end of the day however, it is an exercise that has a limited target area and is not good for overall back development.
