Body building is becoming more popular in virtually every corner of the world. Part of the sport is to develop the various muscle groups of the body to definition and strength. To develop the upper back and trapezius muscles of the neck region, the dumbbell row is a good exercise. You need proper form to achieve the desired effect.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Position your body with one knee on the edge of a bench. Make sure your body is parallel to the bench and lean down on the bench with your hand on the same side of your body as your knee. Leaning on the arm and steadying yourself with your knee, let the dumbbell hang down in your other hand towards the floor.

  2. Step 2

    Begin the row with the dumbbell about an inch off the floor. Draw your arm straight up to your side, slowly. A slow controlled movement will bring the best results in this exercise.

  3. Step 3

    Raise the dumbbell and keep your back straight and parallel to the floor. Keep your body straight and don't rotate your hips. Once you have completed the raise, return the weight to the floor at the same slow and controlled rate.
