Reverse Grip Smith Machine Bent-Over Row Instructions

  1. Set up for the reverse grip smith machine bent-over row by lowering the bar on the smith machine all the way and adding the weight you want to use.
  2. Stand facing the bar and grip the bar with an underhand grip (palms facing up), with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart.
  3. Stand straight up to take the weight off the machine.
  4. Straighten your back, bend at the knees slightly, and slowly let the weight down until it's just below your knees. This is the start position.
  5. Keeping your body fixed, pull the weight up until it almost hits your body.
  6. Pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
  7. Repeat for desired reps.
