Kettlebell Two Arm Row

Hold a kettlebell in each hand with palms facing inwards. Bend at the hips, keeping your back straight. Pull the kettlebells towards your chest by bending your elbows. Pause briefly at the top and then slowly lower the kettlebells back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Kettlebell Two Arm Row

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Kettlebell Two Arm Row using your kettlebell.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your rhomboids.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your rhomboids rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
