The resistance band deadlift with single arm row is a compound strength exercise that combines a hip-hinge pull with a unilateral rowing motion, working the glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors through the deadlift phase and the lats, rhomboids, and biceps through the row. The resistance band provides accommodating resistance that increases tension at the top of the movement. It is an effective option for home training, travel workouts, or as an accessory movement to build posterior chain and back strength simultaneously.

Resistance Band Deadlift with Single Arm Row: So führst du sie aus

  1. 1Stand on the center of a resistance band with your feet hip-width apart, holding one end of the band in your right hand with your palm facing your body.
  2. 2Hinge at your hips and push them back, lowering your torso until it is roughly parallel to the floor while keeping your back flat and your core braced.
  3. 3Let your right arm hang straight down, keeping slight tension in the band at the bottom position.
  4. 4Drive through your heels and extend your hips to stand tall, pulling the band upward as you rise — this is the deadlift phase.
  5. 5As your hips reach full extension and your torso is upright, immediately drive your right elbow back and up toward your hip, rowing the band to your lower ribcage.
  6. 6Squeeze your right shoulder blade toward your spine at the top of the row, then lower your arm under control back to the hanging position.
  7. 7Hinge at your hips again to return to the start position, maintaining a neutral spine throughout the descent.
  8. 8Complete all reps on your right side, then switch to your left hand and repeat.

Technik-Tipps

  • Keep your core actively braced throughout both the deadlift and row phases to protect your lower back and maintain a neutral spine.
  • Drive the movement with your hips, not your lower back — think of pushing the floor away rather than pulling yourself upright.
  • At the top of the row, focus on pulling your elbow past your torso and squeezing the shoulder blade to fully engage the rhomboids and lats.
  • Use a band with enough resistance that the last two reps of each set are challenging, but not so heavy that your form breaks down.
  • Keep your non-working arm free or resting on your thigh to help you balance, especially when fatigue sets in.

Häufige Fehler

  • Rounding the lower back during the hinge — this places compressive stress on the lumbar spine; keep your chest proud and your spine neutral throughout.
  • Using momentum to swing the band up instead of driving with the hips — this reduces muscle activation and increases injury risk; control every phase of the movement.
  • Shrugging the shoulder during the row instead of retracting the shoulder blade — shrugging recruits the upper traps instead of the intended mid-back muscles.
  • Allowing the band to go slack at the bottom — maintaining light tension at the start position ensures the muscles are under load from the very first inch of the pull.
  • Rushing through reps without pausing at the top of the row — a brief pause at peak contraction improves mind-muscle connection and maximizes back engagement.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What muscles does the resistance band deadlift with single arm row work?

The deadlift phase primarily works the glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors. The single arm row phase targets the lats, rhomboids, and rear deltoids, with the biceps assisting the pull. Together, the movement trains nearly the entire posterior chain in one sequence.

Can I do this exercise with one band looped for more resistance?

Yes. Folding the band in half and standing on the doubled-up section doubles the resistance, which is useful once a single strand becomes too easy. You can also use a thicker band to increase the load.

Should I do the row at the top of the deadlift or as a separate movement?

The row is performed at the top of the deadlift — once your hips are fully extended and your torso is upright. Combining them in sequence builds timing and efficiency, but if your form suffers you can pause briefly between the two before adding speed.

How is this different from a regular bent-over row?

In a bent-over row, your torso stays hinged throughout the set. In this exercise you complete a full deadlift stand-up before rowing, so the glutes and hamstrings do significantly more work and the movement pattern is more dynamic.

Is resistance band training effective for building back strength?

Yes. Resistance bands provide accommodating resistance — tension increases as the band stretches — which challenges muscles through a full range of motion. They are an effective tool for hypertrophy and strength, particularly for the back and posterior chain, when bands of appropriate resistance are used.
