Wide-grip barbell row

Take care: Take care: the bent-over position loads the lower back. Keep it flat, and skip it with a lower-back injury.

Bent-over row with a wide grip, about 90 cm, trunk held at about 68°. The bar rows to the lower chest with the elbows flared out, shifting the work toward the rear shoulders and upper back.

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

4.5/10 effort4.7fatigue per set

Your quota per set: 10 reps at 50 kg, stopping 2 reps short of failure.

One hard set earns 17 legs points, 167 pull points, 35 arms points, 17 core points.

Prime movers

Posterior deltoid, rhomboids, middle trapezius, latissimus dorsi, biceps; hamstrings and erectors hold the hinge.

What to look for

  • Elbows out wide as you row.
  • Pull to the lower chest, shoulder blades squeezed.
  • Trunk angle stays fixed.
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.
