📋 How to Perform
- Grab one dumbbell in each hand and assume a pushup position with feet about shoulder width apart.
- Make sure the core is braced and row one dumbbell up.
- Lower the dumbbell under control and return to the starting pushup position.
- Alternate rowing each arm until all reps are completed.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rotating the hips and torso open as the dumbbell rises, which swaps core control for momentum.
- Setting the feet too narrow, which makes the plank unstable and forces the hips to twist.
- Letting the hips sag toward the floor, which loads the lower back instead of the trunk muscles.
