@atozbodyfitness63113 жыл бұрын
barbell row or seated rows are the best IMO. they build a good thickness in the back and give it volume and a thicker look. also widens the back as well. i always preferred them over lat pulldowns, although don't substitute one for the other. The best way to do this is to extend your legs with a slight bend in the knee. don't bend them so much. get more distance so you can get a better and deeper row in. and keep your traps relaxed. they should never be hiked or used during a row, and during a lot of other exercises for that matter.
@ChrisLerouxDesign7 жыл бұрын
Nice! Been looking forward to this video. I've gotten better at seated rows but because of my size have to use a wide-grip. If I use a close-grip my elbows just fly out to the sides and I don't feel any contraction in my back.

For this exercice, the mistakes would be to row it too high: keep it to your bellybutton, and hold it for a second in the contracted position and think about pulling with your elbows to avoid too much biceps involvement (they will be working anyway). It will make a hell of a difference. Climb up the weights gradually so your lower back can adjust before you go for your heaviest sets. Make sure to create the mind-muscle connection with lighter weights. It can be considered a multi-joint exercice so best done as a main movement in your session.

I've noticed that when I switch up the amount of weight I'm doing on this I naturally pull the handles back either a little higher up on my torso or lower...I believe heavier weights usually make me go a little lower than lighter ones...

@ColossusFitness7 жыл бұрын
No that's a fine question and good work crushing the gym! Although your arms are moving and biceps do play a huge role, it's the best way to contact the back and a lot of the power still comes from there. Both methods I am NOT using the momentum of my back to pull, but rather just using it to change the angles.

It depends what your goal is really. If you really want to push yourself to increase strength and size quickly you can try doing heavier sets that will inevitably cause a tiny tiny bit of back and forth (make sure to hold it though). But keeping it still and focusing on form and breathing is a great way to build definition. Hope that helps
