Video of the Week- One Leg DB Row

Darryl Nelson

I like to incorporate 1 leg DB rows into the team's training.  I feel rowing is an important movement and I also like this because it is a contralateral pattern.  Plus, it provides some additional glute activation.

I chose this videos because it shows some common mistakes on this exercise.  First the athlete has a weight that is just a bit on the heavy side.  Also, his back foot is plantar flexed and it should be dorsiflexed.  Also, his back leg sags to the floor a bit because his glute is not firing well.
