The Humble Row

HUMBLE ROW🔥
-------
Add this to your arsenal if you’re looking to really target the upper back!
•Lower chest pinned to top of bench
•Fully protract the scapula at the bottom of each rep. This helps to recruit as many muscle fibers as possible, so you can fully engage them during the contraction(top of movement.)
•Keep a pronated grip to target the traps/rear delts/rhomboids
•Drive elbows out and back
•Keep feet planted and core tight
Going heavy isn’t the goal with this one.
Grab just enough weight you can control that also challenges you through each rep. Try it out and let me know how you like it!

can be used as an alternative to the Seal Row? Thanks!

[@julian_martin]

Yessir

[@advmotoman3588]

I slightly make the bench more vertical and do it for trap isolation.

Thanks!

What’s the difference between humble row and chest supported row?

[@jaspreetsingh-ve8sd]

Support of lower chest in humble row against the bench & support of upper chest in chest supported row. I think

[@matthewjames6574]

Humble row is higher and targets upper back making it harder. A normal chest supported row isn’t as high so you can use lats. Also you usually use a barbell for a CSR.

Thanks

[@haleystewart9109]

Oh wow I wish you were my trainer

[@xColonel61]

is this exercise enough for the rotator cuff muscles, rhomboids, lower and middle traps? If no, what other exercises you recommend for hitting those muscles?

[@farhanbaig404]

Is this the best alternative for facepulls (as i dont have a pully/cable system)?

[@dannyi8917]

you can do this or bent over lat raises as an alternative to facepulls

[@julian_martin]

You’ll probably be able to mimick the face pull movement better with dumbbell bent over face pulls. Check out Matt Ogus’s video demonstration.

Is this for UPPER BACK right?

[@julian_martin]

Yessir!

[@ilangoldsztein6464]

Julian Martin if I do a wide Grip row It’s still working upper back right? Because my arms are not too close to the lats

[@julian_martin]

Ilan Goldsztein Yeah exactly. When you flare out your elbows and drive them out and back, you target more upper back. The closer they are to the ribs the more lats you hit.

[@ilangoldsztein6464]

Julian Martin thanks’! But how much flare? Because I think I flare mines too much that I’m doing like a rear delt row

[@julian_martin]

Ilan Goldsztein It’s a personal preference. If you feel too much rear delt than trying bringing your arms closer in.
