Barbell Deadstop Row With Rack

A strength-focused rowing variation where you start each rep from a dead stop with the barbell resting on safety pins or rack supports. With feet hip-width apart and torso hinged forward, grip the bar with an overhand or neutral grip, pull it toward your lower chest by driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together, then lower with control until the bar touches the rack again. This eliminates momentum, increases back muscle tension, and improves strict pulling strength and posture.
