Cable machine upright row. The upright row is performed while standing, holding a weight hanging down in the hands, by lifting it straight up to the collarbone. This is a compound exercise that also involves the trapezius, upper back, forearms, triceps, and the biceps. The narrower the grip the more the trapezius muscles are exercised.
In strength training, rowing (or a row, usually preceded by a qualifying adjective — for instance a cable seated row, barbell upright row, dumbbell bent-over row, T-bar rows, et cetera) is an exercise where the purpose is to strengthen the muscles that draw the rower's arms toward the body (latissimus dorsi) as well as those that retract the scapulae (trapezius and rhomboids) and those that ...
Cable pull-down exercise to the front with a medium-width overhand (pronated) grip. The pull-down exercise is a strength training exercise designed to develop the latissimus dorsi muscle. It performs the functions of downward rotation and depression of the scapulae combined with adduction and extension of the shoulder joint.
A hook grip provides the lifter with a secure, tight grip by maintaining a pronated position between the palms and barbell [2] similar to the double over grip. When used in the deadlift, the hook grip has a number of advantages. Traditionally, lifters tend to use an alternated grip when working with heavy loads on the deadlift; that is, one ...
The upright row is a weight training exercise performed by holding a weight with an overhand grip and lifting it straight up to the collarbone. This is a compound exercise that involves the trapezius, the deltoids and the biceps. The narrower the grip the more the trapezius muscles are exercised, as opposed to the deltoids.
Two-arm dumbbell bent-over-row: [1] The barbell is replaced by two dumbbells, [3] one for each hand. Pendlay row: [1] [4] named after Glenn Pendlay; the back is parallel to the ground and the weight lifted from the floor. Yates row: [5] [1] named after Dorian Yates; a row done with underhand grip and a slightly more upright torso than a regular ...
The inverted row is an exercise in calisthenics. It primarily works the muscles of the upper back—the trapezius and latissimus dorsi —as well as the biceps as a secondary muscle group. The supine row is normally carried out in three to five sets, but repetitions depend on the type of training a lifter is using to make their required gains.
Called the close grip bench press, this variation is best performed with arms in a near-vertical position to reduce strain placed upon the wrists, elbows, and shoulders. A close grip bench press can also be performed with dumbbells or a barbell with neutral grips. Wide grip: A bench press performed with the hands far apart. It shortens the ...
