6 Bent Over Row (takes place of the pullup) - 3 sets x 10 reps A heavy emphasis on lats, biceps and core. • With a dumbbell in each hand (palms facing your torso), bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward by bending at the waist; as you bend make sure to keep your head up and back straight until it is almost parallel to the floor. This is your starting position. 7 • Keeping torso stationary, lift the dumbbells to your side, keeping the elbows close to the body. On the top contracted position, squeeze the back muscles and hold for a second. • Slowly lower the weight again to the starting position as you inhale.
