8 Low Back Exercises With Dumbbells

Bent-Over Row

This dumbbell back mainstay strengthens lats, rhomboids, biceps, and core stabilizing muscles. It's perfect for chest and back workouts like push-pulls.

Single-Arm Row

Any good upper-body exercise includes this. While your lats and rhomboids work here, your core must fire to stabilize you.

Bench-Supported Single-Arm Row

This exercise works lats, rhomboids, and biceps. Your hand supports your body, making stabilization easy.

Underhand Row

Row by pushing the weights to your chest, hugging your elbows, and squeezing your shoulder blades at the top.

Single-Arm Row in Plank

Support your core and straighten your back. Look down at the bench. The body will tilt slightly. This is the start.

Bird-Dog Row

Row the dumbbell up to your chest, hugging your elbows and tightening your shoulder blades at the top.

Renegade Row

Start in a high plank with a dumbbell in each hand on the floor, shoulders stacked precisely over your wrists, legs stretched behind you wider than hip-width apart (for stability), and core and glutes engaged.

Renegade Row to Triceps Kickback

Start in a high plank with a dumbbell in each hand on the floor, shoulders stacked precisely over your wrists, legs stretched behind you wider than hip-width apart (for stability), and core and glutes engaged.
