The kettlebell bent over row is a variation of the bent over row and an exercise used primarily to strengthen the muscles of the back.
Using kettlebells to perform the bent over row provides a unique challenge in the form of an untraditional implement. The way kettlebells are designed, the weight is below the handle, allowing for gravity to challenge your grip strength more so than a dumbbell would.
Also, kettlebells can be extremely beneficial in helping lifters maintain a neutral grip to alleviate joint pain commonly associated with other implements.
