If your goal is building a bigger back to fill out your t-shirt, then the traditional single-arm dumbbell row is one of the best exercises you can do. But, have you heard of Kroc rows? It’s a variation of the dumbbell row that targets exactly the same muscles— upper back, biceps, and forearms— but it allows you to shift more weight, which means more strength and muscle.
The exercise was named after American powerlifter and bodybuilder, Matt Kroczaleski, and it’s performed almost identically to a dumbbell row. However, instead of using ‘strict form’— where you keep your body stable and only move your arm— Kroc rows use controlled momentum to help you more weight and do more reps. The result? More gains!
