How to do Suspension Trainer With Grips Single Arm Rear Delt Row

  2. Engage your arm and pull your chest towards the handle by bending your elbow and driving it out to the side, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blade towards your spine.
  3. Continue pulling until your upper arm is parallel to the floor and your elbow is bent at a 90-degree angle.
  4. Slowly extend your arm back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.

Form tips

  • Focus on using your rear deltoid and upper back muscles to perform the row, avoiding excessive use of your arm.
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid shrugging them towards your ears.
