Barbell Side Bend Exercise Guide

  • Stand up straight with a barbell on the back of your shoulders (slightly below your neck). Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This is your starting position.

  • While keeping your back straight and your head up, bend only at the waist to the right as far as possible. Inhale as you bend to the side. Pause, then come back up to the starting position as you breathe out.

    • Quick Tip: Keep the rest of your body stationary throughout the move.

  • Now repeat the movement but bending to the left instead. Pause, then come back to the starting position.

  • Repeat for 8-12 reps.

    • Caution: This exercise is not advised for people with lower back problems.

    Variations: You can also do this move while sitting on a bench or even while holding dumbbells.
