Single-arm dumbbell row

Staggered stance with the left foot a half step forward and the left hand braced on the left thigh; a 22 kg dumbbell in the right hand rows from arms-long to the hip. The free hand’s support is not modelled, so balance is shown as if free-standing.

Load and joint demand

Load in the model: 22 kg. Balance and joint demand re-solve as you change it.

Faults

Faults grow with knee bend and apply to lifts standing on the floor. The fault check flags a knee caving more than 10° inside the line of the toes and a load split beyond 60/40. Knee cave shows best in the front camera.

Body

Femur changes keep standing height fixed by shortening or lengthening the torso. Longer femurs force more forward lean in any squat.

Effort and your quota

4/10 effort4.2fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 10 reps at 22.5 kg, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 203 pull points, 35 arms points.

Prime movers

Latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, middle trapezius, posterior deltoid, biceps.

What to look for

  • Pull the dumbbell toward the hip, not up to the chest.
  • Keep the chest square to the floor; no twisting.
  • Let the shoulder stretch forward at the bottom.
How the model works, and its limits

One 3D skeleton drives both views. Segment lengths and widths are Winter's anthropometric ratios of height; segment masses and centre-of-mass positions follow Dempster's data. For free-standing lifts the whole-body angle is found numerically so the combined centre of mass of lifter and load sits over the middle of the foot. Arms and legs use two-link inverse kinematics with a pole direction. Rep timing follows a minimum-jerk profile.

Balance is quasi-static, so ballistic lifts are shown slowed down. Cable pull and pad support forces are not modelled. The spine is one rigid segment and joints have no range-of-motion limits or muscle forces.
