Dumbbell Lawnmover

Description

This dumbbell exercise is pretty much the same as the one-arm dumbbell row but instead of holding on a bench for support, you will be using the opposite leg. This targets the same muscles too - back muscles.

Benefits

  • This exercise targets mainly the back muscles and also the arms: biceps, brachialis, and brachioradialis muscles.
  • This exercise is great for individuals who don't have an access to a bench.
  • This is a great exercise for increasing overall strength and size of the back muscles and the arms.

  • This exercise is not recommended to individuals not yet accustomed with the hinge pattern.
  • This exercise can injure the lower back if not properly executed.
  • This exercise is not recommended to individuals with any hip, knee, or ankle problems.
  • This exercise is not recommended for beginners with weak core and poor balance.
  • Proper weight progression is advised when doing this exercise.
