Lying Face Row

Lying Face Row

 

Face rows will help correct narrow shoulders and/or kyphosis (hunched back) by working the postural muscles in the upper back. Lying on a bench enables you to perform the exercise without having to worry about supporting your own spine. Great for beginners that need to build some foundation strength.

Main Muscles: Rhomboids, Lower Trapezius, Rear Deltoids

Key Points:

  • The bench should be on a 35 degree incline
  • Your chest should be above the edge of the bench
  • Keep your elbows above the bar and row to your face
  • Use full range of motion
