Dumbbells can be used for all kinds of exercises, including training your back, so they tend to be equipment that gives you the most bang for your buck.  The exercise that you should focus on for your back is the neutral grip dumbbell row (see the picture below).  You don&#8217;t need to rest your hand on anything.  You can rest your forearm on your knee, then extend your other leg straight back while maintaining a flat back throughout the exercise.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/mysimpleworkout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alora-griffiths-LOnMc8Rp1Qs-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Dumbell Row\" class=\"wp-image-431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysimpleworkout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alora-griffiths-LOnMc8Rp1Qs-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mysimpleworkout.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/alora-griffiths-LOnMc8Rp1Qs-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\tStart\nwith light weight and add weight slowly using sets of six to twelve\nreps.
