Dumbbell rowing!

2. Dumbbell rowing is safer, dumbbell rowing is not like barbell rowing The lower back needs to bear huge pressure. The risk of barbell rowing is more likely to be injured in the lumbar spine. If there is an injury to the lumbar spine, it is better to use dumbbells. As long as the movement is mastered well, the effect will not be inferior to dumbbell rowing

Advantages of dumbbell rowing!

If you have a history of serious back injuries, dumbbell rowing is a wiser choice.

Big load barbell rowing always put too much pressure on your lower back (spine). Even in a standard posture, and it is difficult to ensure the correct posture when it is heavy, it is easy to cheat. Using the method of leveraging force, dumbbell rowing can be practiced well without worrying about the lower back. I can feel the movement of the latissimus dorsi (pump feeling, soreness, etc.)

In addition, before my upper back reaches the load, my lower back is tired first, and I can still stick to the latissimus dorsi, but I have to finish the exercises and I don’t practice properly.

From the coach’s perspective, you face a large group of members. This means I need to choose some movements that are easier for trainers to get started. Dumbbell rowing is easier to do standard than barbell rowing, and the pressure on the lower back is also less, so it seems to be a better action.

If I have a personal trainer’s client who is doing barbell rowing is standard and does very well without lower back pain, then I will definitely be happy to accept barbell rowing

Summary:

Barbell rowing The boat is an excellent compound movement. The ace movement for back training is stimulating and has enough intensity. However, if you have lower back problems, it is recommended to consider it carefully!

Dumbing boating does not have the compound functionality of barbell rowing, but it is very good for isolated stimulation of latissimum dorsi, and there is no pressure on the lower back!

The two brothers dorsi have no bad training methods in essence. Barbell rowing and dumbbell rowing are often arranged alternately in most people's practice plans, and tailor the training menu for themselves according to their advantages and disadvantages! And they both have good results.
