LOWER LATS
EXERCISE -- BENT OVER ROW
The lats or latissimus dorsi is a large muscle group of the body. With all of the machines found in the gym or fitness center that help to develop the back muscles, one of the best standard exercises the bentover barbell row has slowly been forgotten. Because the lat muscles are a large group of muscles, both the upper and lower lats need to be developed to have that total look. Performing the sets correctly will determine how your back will develop.
WHY USE THE HELPER?
THE HELPER should be a part of your back
routine. Just working on machines such as the lat pull-down will not give
you that lower lat development.
THE HELPER works the lower lats
by using center of mass. Because of the close grip and even pull with the
lats, you can feel the back muscles stretching and working. Although dumbbells
work, when using a dumbbell for the one arm row we tend to cheat by jerking
the weight up. A barbell requires more balance and does not give the same
results as THE HELPER. Most people exercising and training do tons
of lat pull-downs and upper lat work but neglect their lower lats.
