T-bar rows are a resistance exercise that strengthens your back. They are similar to bent-over rows, but they focus more on your inner back muscles. The T-bar row is a compound movement that uses a simple machine consisting of a platform to stand on as you straddle a bar fixed at one end. The target muscle of this form of row is the latissimus dorsi, but it also works all the major back muscles, including the rhomboids, trapezius, and erector spinae. Additionally, it works the shoulders and the pulling muscles in your arms, such as the biceps, brachialis, and brachioradialis. The T-bar row allows multiple different grips that can be used to provide a slightly different stimulus for your upper body. It can be used for mass and strength, and it is simple, effective, easy to perform, and versatile. The T-bar row also allows the hips and knees to be bent lower, which will bend the torso at a more horizontal angle, but also help diffuse some of the strain that would otherwise be placed on the lower back during other row variations.
