Another good video. Are those straps homemade? They look different than any I've seen by searching for "Blast Straps."

They're the "Jungle Gym" straps from Perform Better.

@pkhamidar2com true,but i dont do this exercise like on this video,when i am pulling i move my head toward the ground andwhen i lower my body i bring my head toward the chest

try it like that,it has a nice effect on neck and upper traps also

@TheSUBGAMER agreed somewhat, and quite alot too. Usually when i see people doing dumbell rows they use their lower back and swing like they are sexing some dog or something... With inverted rows its only possible to do these with good form and a straight body.

@pkhamidar2com but it is different,less chance of hurting your self,much better exercise for lower back,other exercise can do damage to it

[pkhamidar2com]

if anyones wondering, this exercise works out, * Trapezius, Middle * Trapezius, Lower * Rhomboids * Latissimus Dorsi * Teres Major * Deltoid, Posterior * Infraspinatus * Teres Minor * Brachialis * Brachioradialis

from exrx, btw jsut so you know this is not any different to db rows or barbell rows, the other rowing movements will hit all these muscles aswell.

I got this from exrx,google it.

@DwnNvr You will also get slower. For athleticism you should lift with speed (explode on the up phase, steady on the way down).

[DwnNvr]

If you work slow, you work your muscle for longer on the one rep. I'll put it this way, if you workout slower, your getting a better workout because your using your muscles for longer.

Good god....did I ever say one thing about using momentum? Going as slow as possible to work the most muscle fibers = COMPLETELY FALSE! First and foremost: correct form. Secondly: fast as you can WHILE using correct form, NO momentum. The second you start using momentum/incorrect form, SLOW DOWN.  What looks fast to one person might look slow to another.

[swing11]

Even though I'm being clear as day, you're still not getting it. Maybe the fastest you can go while using correct form for a particular exercise looks slow to someone else. THIS is what I'm saying. Fast as you can go can still look slow; what I'm saying is do the repetitions with CORRECT form FIRST and FOREMOST....the second you start doing incorrect form is the time you should slow it down. Going as slow as possible to work the most muscle fibers is a COMPLETELY FALSE STATEMENT!!

Check out my profile and website if you are interested in Jungle Gym straps... I carry them.

Slow eccentric for control, but powerful concentric is best. This will eliminate momentum. Speed can safely be used, but you have a good point in that swinging the weight should be avoided.
