Allow the dumbbells to hang straight down below your shoulders.

POSITION: BENT OVER EQUIPMENT: DUMBBELL EXECUTION: UNILATERAL SETUP: DEAD STOP VARIANT 16

A great explosive movement for your upper body. Make sure you come a a complete stop at the bottom of your rep for at least 2 seconds and then EXPLODE as you pull.

Pause these on the ground and drive up hard. make sure you relax your scapulae and stretch at the bottom of the movement too.

While maintaining a neutral spine position throughout (the body should make a straight line from the head to lumbar spine), start with the dumbbell resting on the floor. Grab the handle and crush it – gripping it as hard as you can. Doing so will single the rotator cuff to fire and to pack the shoulder back through a process called irradiation.

From there, I like to tell people to pretend they’re starting a lawn mower – rowing the dumbbell by bring their elbow towards the hip (not just going straight up and down). Effectively, you’ll be “pulling through the elbow,” finishing at the top by retracting (technicaly, adducting) your shoulder blade towards the midline of the body. In other words, squeeze your shoulder blade like a mofo at the top.

To finish, you’ll return the dumbbell back to the floor, coming to a complete STOP. Pause for a second or two, and repeat for desired number or repetitions.

Step 1: Place your left knee and left hand on the bench. Step 2: Reach down and grab the dumbbell with your right hand. Step 3: Pull the dumbbell up to your chest and hold for a half second. Step 4: Lower the dumbbell back down and set it on the floor. Step 5: This completes one repetition. Set the dumbbell on the ground in between each repetition.

Let the dumbbells hang directly below your shoulders. With your palms facing each other and your elbows close to your body, pull the weights as high as possible, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the start and repeat for reps.This is a great exercise for focusing more on the lats, specifically the lower lats. Because your body is supported by the bench it removes the opportunity to cheat by using the legs and lower back and forces your lats to do all the work.
