The Big 6 – Row to Grow: Build an Unbreakable Back

from The Strength Log · host Daniel Richter & Philip Wildenstam

You don't see it, but everyone else does. Your upper back holds some of the biggest muscles in your upper body, and the way to train them is with rowing exercises. In this episode, we talk about the barbell row and other common rowing variations, which muscles they work, best technique practices, biomechanics, and more. This is the fifth episode in our series covering "The Big 6" exercises: the bench press, squat, deadlift, overhead press, different kinds of rows, and pull-up/lat pulldown. Up next week: The pull-up and lat pulldown! *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that follow button!
