Originally posted by kanun I've been meaning to ask for a while: What is the correct form for these? I checked ExRx but they only have a cable 1 arm row. With DBs, I find the movement a bit strange because the resistance is not 'opposite' you like with a cable, but more downwards because of gravity on the DB. If I put my arm all the way out, like a [normal] row, my arms (esp. forearms) get way tired and I can't target my back as much. So what I do is, sitting down, keep the DB between my legs and then pull it up until my forearm is parallel to ground, and my back (on one side) is contracting. Is this right? I always feel mega-sore the day after doing them, but I'm not 100% convinced I'm doing them well. |

Originally posted by HIC Not quite sure if we are going to be describing the same maneuver as I couldn't get the visual from your description. But this is how I've always done them. example for right arm repeat for left. find a flat bench, place dumbell to right of bench left knee on back end of bench, left hand also on bench, right leg about 1 1/2 ft to right of bench. Back should be close to parallel with the bench abs tight. Grab dumbell, focus on pulling with lats. http://www.gymonthehill.freeserve.co.uk/ex_dbrows.htm |
