This invention works in relation to a bent over row machine. Specifically, this bent over row machine provides a support unit capable of supporting the user's body during exercise by adjusting its height and angle, allowing for the weight to be changed according to the user's body.
Bent over row is a type of exercise aimed at improving the latissimus dorsi muscles during in weight training, which is acknowledged for creating balanced back muscles. This bent over row machine can be exercised by holding dumbbells with both hands to bend the upper body about 80 degrees forward with the knees slightly bent, then bending the arms to pull the dumbbells to the lower part of the pectoralis major muscle, and returning to the original position.
When performing exercises using dumbbells, it may be difficult for beginners to carry out the procedure in proper postures, which may cause them to perform exercises in the wrong posture or strain the body, also often leading to safety accidents such as dropping dumbbells.
