A BLAST FROM DA PAST! Valerie and Nana smashin those lats at the rack. No pussying around when it comes to back work-outs! The one-arm dumbbell row, when performed correctly, is one of the most versatile bang for your buck upper body exercises in your arsenal. The latissimus is one of the only muscles to run directly over the vertebrae of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine, with direct tie-ins through the SI joint, making it an important exercise for back pain sufferers. Additionally, it helps develop thickness through the upper and mid back too. The row is typically intended to work the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, lower traps, and erector spinae, and requires a large degree of stabilization from the rotator cuff. This means that if youre doing it correctly, you should feel the muscles between and below your shoulder blades working like crazy. However, if you were to ask a handful of people in the gym where they feel it working, theyd tell you their elbows, biceps, wrists, shoulders, neck, hair-line, glutes, and pretty much every part of their body except their lats. LOL. At the end of the day...it is not necessarily about how much you can lift...BUTT...HOW YOU LIFT. Strength is RELATIVE. Stop stressing numbers and focus on your overall form. FORM...FIRST!
