How to Do Dumbbell Renegade Row to Squat

  1. 1
    Setup

    Place two hex dumbbells on the floor. Get into a high plank position gripping the dumbbells with a wide foot stance.

  2. 2

    Perform a row with one arm, pulling the dumbbell to your hip and squeezing your lat. Lower it back down.

  3. 3

    Row with the opposite arm, maintaining a stable plank and level hips throughout.

  4. 4

    Jump your feet forward to the outside of the dumbbells, landing in a squat position while still gripping the weights.

  5. 5

    Stand up from the squat, then hinge back down to place the dumbbells on the floor and jump back to plank position.

Tips

  • Use hex dumbbells to prevent rolling — round dumbbells are dangerous for plank-based exercises.
  • Keep your core locked tight during the rows to prevent energy leaks and hip rotation.
  • Scale down by stepping back to plank instead of jumping if the full version is too intense.

Common Mistakes

  • ×Rushing through the rows with poor form to get to the squat defeats the purpose; make each row deliberate.
  • ×Landing with a rounded back in the squat position risks injury; keep your chest up as you jump forward.
