How to do the One-Arm Long Bar Row

Steps

1. Position a bar into a landmine or in a corner to keep it from moving. Load an appropriate weight onto your end.
2. Stand next to the bar, and take a grip with one hand close to the collar. Using your hips and legs, rise to a standing position.
3. Assume a bent-knee stance with your hips back and your chest up. Your arm should be extended. This will be your starting position.
4. Pull the weight to your side by retracting the shoulder and flexing the elbow. Do not jerk the weight or cheat during the movement.
5. After a brief pause, return to the starting position.

Tracking it in OneRep

Add the one-arm long bar row to a routine and your previous weight and reps sit beside every set, so the decision to add load is made by what is already on the screen rather than by memory. Exercise history and volume trends are one tap away, and logging works offline for the gyms where signal does not reach.

Because OneRep tracks food on the same timeline, a stall on this lift can be read against what you were actually eating that month — which is the difference between a programming problem and an eating one. More on that in tracking progressive overload without a spreadsheet.

Where the instructions come from

The steps above come from free-exercise-db, a public-domain exercise dataset. They are general guidance, not coaching for your body: if a movement hurts, stop and get someone qualified to look at it.
