if i do both arms ( two arm row) am i taking away from the exercise?
If this is an American machine, the weight unit would be pounds, right? There's no way it could be 50 kilograms.
How on earth did I manage to do this with 30 kilograms on each side in the past?
Wow, this is really fun, haha. It's amazing how only the lats are getting stimulated.
Some days the weight feels manageable, but on other days it feels too heavy. On the days it feels too heavy, can I lower the weight and increase the number of repetitions accordingly?
I'm trying to pull with my scapula, but if I go over 10, my trapezius gets tight.
- Grip: Pulling one side while in a neutral position (palms facing each other) - Posture: Keep the upper body upright and fixed, do not arch the back ❌ - Movement: Pull the elbows back along the side body line, but do not shrug the shoulders ❌ - Advantages: Corrects left-right balance, focuses stimulation on the latissimus dorsi and mid-back
Why are the first ten easy then the last 4 hit harder?
First time doing this workout i started with 23kgs and was able to do 27 at the last set
This is not about pulling with arm strength, but rather about the feeling of pulling with the strength of the shoulder blades pulling back. The arms are just a pivot in the middle; you just need to hold on. Sometimes, when pulling, there is excessive twisting of the waist from side to side at the end, which is unnecessary. If you relax as much as possible forward and focus on pulling with the shoulder blades instead of the arms, it will be perfect. 🔥
Hold the diagonal part of the handle and hug the chair. It's okay if your body lifts a little, so rotate it slightly. Press your elbow into your side. Lower it while being mindful of your trapezius muscle.
Trial it and find out lol FYI have the seat adjust so you are pulling in just under your peck
