The dumbbell row is a unilateral pulling exercise targeting the back muscles. Start by placing one hand and one knee on a bench, maintaining a flat back and braced core. With a dumbbell in the free hand, pull the weight up towards your hip, squeezing your shoulder blade at the top. Control the dumbbell's descent back to the starting position to maximize muscle engagement.
