Dual Dumbbell Pendlay Rows

Start by standing in a wider than shoulder width stance to make sure you have room for both dumbbells in between your feet. Bend over at the hips and bend your knees to grab the dumbbells places almost in line with each other in between your toes. Trying to keep the spine as straight as possible (slight rounding is okay!), pull the dumbbells towards your upper chest by squeezing your shoulder blades together and pulling your elbows towards the ceiling. Lower the weight under control until the dumbbells are resting back on the ground in the starting position. The term Pendlay means we are killing the momentum at the bottom in order to reset for each rep.

Trainer Tips: Use your back muscles to do the rowing as opposed to mostly arms. You can rotate the dumbbells slightly to your preference and based on your mobility.
