The Most Fun Back Exercise You're NOT Doing: The Big Foot Row


The Big Foot Row is a simple, yet challenging back exercise.


Place 2 kettlebells next to each other on the ground in front of you. 


Stand over the bells, with your feet placed outside the kettlebells.


Get in a strong hinge position – like a silverback gorilla.


While pushing down into the right bell, perform a row with the left bell. Pause a moment at the top, then control that kettlebell back to the ground betwixt your feet.


Immediately reverse the push + pull pattern, and push down into the left kettlebell, while rowing the right kettlebell up towards your hip/ribs.


That's a basic movement popularly known as the "gorilla row."


But we, my dear friends, are not satisfied with just a gorilla row. We aim to one-up the gorilla row.


We do that by now rowing both kettlebells up at the same time. So we do gorilla row left, right, then 2 arm row. That's 1 rep. 


Give it a shot and let me know what you think.


Happy rowing.
