FEATURES
Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral D.Y. Row | IL-DRW Key Features:
- Underhand grip and overhead pivot to promote a biomechanically sound rowing motion that aligns naturally with shoulder anatomy and reduces wrist strain
- Each arm operates on its own converging/diverging track, allowing unilateral or bilateral use to correct imbalances and build symmetrical back strength
- The pivot and grip combination create a smooth, shoulder-centric arc that maximizes lat and mid-back engagement—designed for that powerful “perfect row squeeze”
- Angled seat & chest pad ensure a secure, supported position during heavy lifts.
- GripGuard foot platforms prevent shifting, maximizing stability and foot placement
- 11‑gauge steel with electrostatic powder coating; anchored foot design for safety
Iso-Lateral Training
Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral technology allows athletes to train each side of the body independently, ensuring balanced strength and symmetrical muscle development. This design mimics natural movements and provides a smoother, more controlled range of motion, enhancing performance and reducing the risk of imbalances.
GripGuard Footing
Hammer Strength’s GripGuard Footing offers a secure, non-slip surface for optimal stability and clear foot placement. Designed to protect both you and your equipment, these guards help prevent slipping while also shielding the paint and finish of the machine from wear. Stay grounded and keep your Hammer Strength gear in top shape with every rep.
Underhand Grips
The underhand grip positions your arms for a biomechanically superior pull, emphasizing your lower lats and enhancing the range of motion. This small but powerful detail sets the D.Y. Row apart, delivering results that have yet to be matched.
THE PERFECT ROW SQUEEZE
The Hammer Strength Iso-Lateral D.Y. Row is engineered to deliver the ultimate contraction. This machine is precisely engineered to create a natural arc of motion, allowing full engagement of lats and mid-back muscles with unparalleled precision. Each pull delivers a satisfying, muscle-building squeeze that even Dorian Yates would approve.
BUILT FOR A LEGEND
When a wrist injury sidelined six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates, he turned to Hammer Strength founder Gary Jones for a custom solution. Gary designed a row machine with an underhand grip, overhead pivot, and natural arc of motion to help Dorian train without compromise. Originally created just for Dorian, this innovative design proved so effective it became a staple in the Hammer Strength lineup, delivering the performance athletes demand.
