 There are a few exercises that I don't give people very often and today we're gonna talk about number one on that list and that is the bent over barbell row. So I've kinda walked through how to do this exercise previously but I wanted to expand on the topic because honestly I don't think many people are prepared to do it but I see a lot of people doing it. It seems to be a really good selection for upper back exercise. Like it is the pure just like I'm retracting my shoulder blades I'm training that upper back. I'm working my lats as I bring my arms back and I just don't think many people are prepared for it. So in this video series in this playlist I wanna run through all the different things that I think you should be thinking about in preparing your body for this convoluted complicated lift but again a lift that can give you a lot of benefits cause it is the upper back smasher that it is. I don't want you necessarily to be afraid of it but I do want you to have a healthy bit of skepticism when you are considering throwing it into your program. So we're just gonna start walking through all the things that I think like the steps I think you should take in order to learn this movement effectively I'm gonna give you different ways to think about the movement so that even if you're mostly there like a lot of people make it look pretty good but it doesn't feel right. They're not really training their upper back they're just making this a low back exercise that's not really preparing them for long durable training it's just serving some purpose of filling in that upper back training in your programming. And I don't want it to do that, right? If you're gonna do it I want you to get everything you can out of it. So that's going to be the goal of the next few videos.
