Bent over rows will add density to your body frame and will also improve the v-shape in one’s back (helping the waist to look smaller in cirucmference).
Main Muscles: Latissimus Dorsi, Rear Deltoids, Biceps
Key Points:
– Push your ass out and bend forward about 10° while keeping your chest high and back arched
– Begin with a pronated grip (palms down) and rotate into a neutral grip (palms facing inward) as your row
For this rowing exercise you should use a weight that is about 20% lighter than your usual. The resistance band will create a resistance double whammy – forcing you to fight against more than just gravity.
Main Muscles: Latissimus Dorsi, Rear Deltoids, Biceps
Key Points:
– Attach the resistance band to a stable apparatus, such as a squat rack or cable machine
– Keep your chest high, ass out and back straight
– Wrap the band around the handle of the dumbbell and keep ahold of it with your hand while rowing
The benefit of rowing with a resistance band rather than barbells or dumbbells that demand a steady level of resistance throughout the repetition, is the change in stimuli, which is caused by an increase in resistance as the band stretches further.
Main Muscles: Latissimus Dorsi, Biceps, Rear Deltoids
Key Points: – Keep your back straight, ass out and core tight – You should be bent over approximately 15° – Row towards your waist – Use a slow, controlled movement when extending your arms – Use full range of motion
Resistance bands give us the opportunity to train anywhere and this video will teach you how to dead lift in a place as inconvenient as… I dunno… your hotel room?…
Main Muscles: Hamstrings, Gluteus Maximus, Latissimus Dorsi
Key Points: – Keep your back straight, ass out and chest high – The band should be under the arches of your feet – Drive your feet through the floor and thrust your hips forward when exploding upwards – Use a slow, controlled movement on the descent – Use full range of motion
