back builder rowed face down on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand
the support takes the hinge out of it, so your erectors and hamstrings stop
being what tires first and the back can be pushed much further
each arm works alone and the dumbbells travel past your torso, which a bar on
a fixed path cannot do
Execution
Set an incline bench to roughly 30-45 degrees. Lie face down with your chest at
the top of the pad and a dumbbell in each hand, arms hanging straight down.
Brace your trunk.
let your arms extend and your shoulders travel forward into the stretch
pull the dumbbells up by driving your elbows back past your torso
keep your chest against the pad the whole way
lower them under control along the same path
finish the rep by letting your shoulders protract at the stretch
Set the bench angle once and keep it. If you change it, pick Changed technique
or equipment in the exercise menu, so the jump doesn't count as a strength
change. Push each set to failure: keep going until you can no longer perform the
lengthened half of a rep.
