There were only two submissions last week, and Josh McIntyre came out on top.
Is there anyone who can beat Josh McIntyre in the Diesel Crew Grip Feat of the Week?
Rows are an outstanding way to build a big strong back, to maintain antagonistic balance at the shoulder, as well as for strengthening the hands. There are many variations to choose from, using both barbells and dumbbells.
However, many trainees develop bad habits with Rows which can lead to shoulder problems, rotator cuff issues and other conditions that are better prevented than trying to rehabilitate them. That is why it is important to do this lift correctly in order to pack on muscle and maximize strength gains.
In this video, I cover the proper technique of performing the Side Dumbbell Row version, which is commonly used for isometrically training the lats, rhomboids, traps, posterior delts and other parts of the upper back.

I never realized how freaking tedious this stuff is, but I am glad it is done, at least this far. I still want to put together a play list of Stone Training, Strongman Training, Group Training Sessions, Fire Walk with Me, and maybe a couple more.
Did a handful of Blob Lifts over the weekend, including lifting the Blob and the Inch at the same time.
All the best in your training.

This is the 2″ Vertical Bar.
You grip it by the top, pull it clear of the ground 2 inches and then return it to the ground without dropping it for a legal lift.
I have not had a PR in this lift since 2007 when I first got it.
NOT ANYMORE.
