Great for targeting the rhomboids, lats and rear deltoids, this is an excellent exercise for building up/toning the back muscles, whilst also helping your posture. A lot of the activities we do in day to day life is with our hands in front of us ie. pushing shopping trolley, driving etc. This can lead to very strong, over active chest muscles (pec major). Hence people who walk around with shoulders slumped forward in a slight hump back of notra damus look. Targeting the back muscles will counteract this, balancing the body: bent over row-see above.
With a barbell, bent over 45' at hips, keeping back in natural curves, bring weight up to your navel whilst squeezing your shoulder blades together tight. Engage your core the whole time.
