Very nice brother. Even as a certified trainer I'm learning so much from you. We can never stop learning in this field.

Sal is the best. There’s a reason he MCs these clips. So knowledgeable 💪🏻 🧠

Such a great teacher thanks Sal !

I’ve been listening to hours of the Mind Pump podcast daily and have gained so much knowledge and insight. Thank you for all the information you offer your listeners, it’s reignited my love for lifting. - 24 year old Boston girl

Same here! I found them a year ago and have been thru a little bit over 800 episodes by now! Im learning so much its crazy!

I’ve shares this video 100 times with friends and family.

This helped a lot. I though I was supposed to keep the shoulder in place to isolate the lats or something but that would hurt my front delts. Feels way better now. Thank you

Awesome way to up the game on this movement - great vid!

Thank you i've been so confuse about this movement, your instruction are very clear and detailed, again thank you!

Stoked to incorporate this!

yeaaaaah, Mind Pump! thank you very much, Coach Sal for the reminders remedial

Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful.

Feel like I've found gold because of the integrity and honesty you and your team at mind pump talk about regarding weight loss. I really am blessed. Keep doing what you do and spreading truth!!!

Thanks Sal! 💪💯

Thanks Sal. My form was a bit dodgey glad I found your video!

Great video 👍 , many thanks. I often do chest supported dumbbell rows.

Great video sal!

great video - thank you so much for fixing my row! underrated channel!

Great video 👍👍 thank you

Love the physical videos. Not as good at learning purely through explanation. Thanks 👍.

Excellent explanation.....👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 People perform this exercise incorrectly more than any other exercise.... you done well .... 👊🏿👌🏿

thanks this channel is greate

Great Video!

Nice video, I've always done this intuitively. I like this variation because it allows you to stretch the lat much better than the flat bench variation.

So true!!! Confirms one is doing things right! 💪🏽

Outstanding

great variation i found that i gravitated to this position anyways as a noob likely because i felt less strained position rom and less force stress than horizontal. appreciate the tips especially grips.

This will engage more traps and upper back and that’s ok if that’s your target muscle you want to train. But if your training the Lats, do it on a flat bench! ✅

Gripping at the front of the dumbell is a good tip

Lawn mower-starting position, lol - great analogy 😉 Thanks, Sal

Thanks

Was doin dese yesterday mornin, wit push ^'s

I’m doing MAPS Strong right now. There’s already lots of upper back/more upright movements. I’ll probably try this out later on though.

Man.... the rows. Helped me with chinups at 210lb for 10 reps. Everyone. Do the rows!

Love u

Does it really engage your lats when your humerus go past your body when you row? Its more lower traps and rhomboids right?

smart man

What is the best exercise to develop the lower lats?

Bro... the rhomboid retract gave INSTANT response in my lats

Thanks for this. A lot of people don't mention the grip, you did. Question: do you squeeze the dumbbell or just hold it loosely with your hand? I haven't been squeezing my db and I think it might ne hurting my joints?

If you have tendonitis a tight grip can aggravate that pain. So a hook grip would be ideal to take tension off of the forearms and more into the lats.

With heavier weights, wouldn't it become difficult to pull the weight back at an angle as shown at 1:40?

Will using barbells compared to dumbbells make a difference?

Wish at the end you showed the shoulder movement

My goodness, this makes sooo much sense. I’m guilty on the first error movement. Lmao

Shoulder lift. Major 🔑

Are we driving the elbow or just pulling the weight up?

Elbow

How have I just now found this KZread channel lmao

I tried the incline bench version in the gym weeks ago and there are those vets that mouth me off saying that it's wrong and do it with a flat bench instead. :/

Keep your opposite knee on the inside of the bench if you grip the outside make sure it’s the farthest side from you. Balance in this position is kept because you will flip that bench. Always start light and get your skill set then you can fly free!

How can I feel the stress in the lats? because whenever I do it, I feel the stress in my shoulders more than that is in the lats.

What if you don't have a bench and working out at home?

Use a staggard stance and lean one arm on the back of a couch.

Great demonstration but I disagree with it being the best way to do a dumbbell row. Ill give that its probably the best way to dumbbell row for lat development but I prefer the focus on the upper back and shoulders more as I do pulldowns, pullups/chinups, and pullovers that his my lats more.

No hernia risk with one leg up on the bench?

@@_Sam62 That's where I got it. It makes sense because one groin is Hella relaxed w the other engaged

Can of corn

I see a few things wrong with this.. starters the tempo isn't great , fast concentric, controlled ECCENTRIC. I don't mind the incline bench but a flat bench is definitely better for the line of pull/gravity . The way he rows it as well isn't optimal for the lats and the full range of motion will take off lat gains from lack of tension. It would be better to get that stretch or mobility work form either bar scapular retraction or on the pullups. Also it's better to use a machine for developing the lats. Alot safer and can really overload the weight to drive strength /growth gains.

I prefer to do this with a kettlebell. Feels more ergonomic. And with the higher position with the incline bench, you don’t get the ROM issue you’d have because the kettlebell now doesn’t touch the ground anymore.

1:58 Tempo... "2 seconds up, 2 seconds down." Real time: 1 sec up, 1 sec down.

I used to do it that way with my knee on the bench and ended up with two hernia surgery. It has been six years since I been doing the rows differently and never had a problem again. Steve from ATHLEAN-X shows from a scientific point why this version on the exercise is so dangerous.

It's not dangerous if you know how to brace properly. Both versions can be used with proper technique.

I agree completely. I had two separate groin injuries from the dumbell row with one knee on a bench. Jeff Caviliere who trains athletes says that groin injuries can occur from doing the dumbbell row like this. In his youtube channel Athelean-X he explains how to do it with both feet planted on the floor. Since doing it like that I have had no groin injuries.

Chest supported row is great and safe substitute for this controversial exercise.

2 secs up, 2 secs down would be at least twice as slow as your were demonstrating. Just my observation.

Mind pump is almost entirely bro science, but that is often based on experience and that is actually worth more than exact science.

The best way to do a dumbbell row is to do a chest supported dumbbell row, not whatever this is.

Isn't being more upright when your row just using more upper traps and upper back like a deadlift almost. There's a reason the lat pull down runs from up and out in front of you, because that's the way the lats work and fibres run. pretty much the opposite of this movement. A flat bench is far more conducive of that movement and working the lats in the correct range. There's too much tendency to shrug as you row with this incline version

I don't mean to whine, but your pace doesn't match what you're thinking. 2-0-2 would be nice, but you're doing 3 full reps in 2 seconds…😉

Don't put your knee on the bench. Both feet on the floor one hand on the bench.

If you knew anything about how muscles work, you'd know that is wrong
