Renegade rows are an amazing strength training exercise for the upper body. It can build some serious strength very quickly. But, because you hold yourself up on three points, this particular exercise requires learning a simple technique that makes it much easier to do.  Here is an excellent 1 minute video of renegade rows with kettlebells that shows you the technique.  (Don't worry we are getting to using the PowerBlock adjustable dumbbell set.) I really like this video because it explains how to do renegade rows really well.

The Technique for Renegade Rows

Now kettlebells do work great for renegade rows, but if you have a home gym they may PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells come in.  Now that you know the technique, here is a video showing you how easy the PowerBlocks are to use for this exercise.

Powerblock Adjustable Dumbbells and Renegade Rows

One of the reasons that I like PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells is because of their square shape. It is very stable and will never roll away from you.

Here they are in 24 pound version.

Here is the 50 pound per dumbbell version.

All PowerBlock sets are easy to adjust (they adjust with a pin like a nautilus machine), and have a super small footprint. They are also nearly always top rated by customers. The 50 pound version for instance has 11 customer reviews on Amazon 6 are 5 star reviews and 5 are 4 star reviews.

PowerBlock adjustable dumbbells can be used for every exercise that traditional dumbbells are used for they just take up far less room. Which makes them perfect for a home gym. The only downside is that the square shape takes some getting used to for some people, but usually after the first couple of sets you do you will be hooked.
