Straight Arm Dumbell Row

I think this long forgotten little gem may have fixed my Lat/Serratus problem. Kudos to Christian Thibaudeau over at T-nation. I used to do these all the time as they are great to get you in touch with your Lats.

Another hat tip to Marybeth over at Somaquest for reminding me that its about intention.



Dumbbell row (straight-arm)

2 x 15

60 seconds of rest between sets

This exercise is very good at developing the lats. The objective is to bring the arm up and back while keeping it relatively straight. Really concentrate on your lats while doing this drill; don't use a lot of weight as it's not needed to get the most out of this drill. It's more important to focus on maintaining maximum back tension during every inch of every rep.
