Reverse-Grip-Bent-Over Barbell Row
This awesome move will tone up your back quick and help with that posture- you’ll be standing strong and tall in no time!
target muscles: lower lats
Set Up: Grasp a bar with a reverse grip (palms up), hands spaced slightly narrower than shoulder width. Bend at your waist until your torso and lower body form a 45-degree angle. Keep a natural arch in your lower back. The bar should hang down naturally.
Action: Retract your shoulder blades and pull the bar toward your waist stopping just short of your navel. Squeeze your upper back briefly, then control the bar back to the arms-extended position. Repeat.
Tips: As you begin to fatigue do not use upper-body momentum to lift the bar toward your navel. To engage the greatest number of muscle fibers possible, make sure that your elbows track rearward as you pull the bar up. Don’t flare them out to the sides.

About Me
My name is Lauren Fellows and I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. I am based out of Denver, CO with a passion for training hard, pushing myself, and healthy cooking. Growing up in San Diego has lead to my other passion of being out in the sun whether I am running, biking, playing kickball, softball, volleyball, swimming,hiking, wake boarding, snowboarding… I love to be active and outside. However, living in Colorado for the last 6 years has allowed me to discover the joys and opportunities of working out indoors (thank you winter) while also expanding my repertoire of outdoor activities . I have no shame in admitting that I am a “gym rat” and love showing off with my “fancy” push-ups in front of all the heavy lifters.
As a Personal Trainer I not only help my clients to achieve their goals but I push them to become better, stronger and happier versions of themselves, inside and out. If you do not love yourself on the inside- you will never love yourself on the outside. Being happy and fit affects all aspects of our lives positively and I want to spread that to all.
I am COMMITTED to inspiring changing lives through fitness.
TRAIN HARD. EAT CLEAN. LIVE HAPPY.
