Low Pulley Rows for Midback Thickness

Wednesday September 23, 2009

The low pulley row is an excellent exercise to bring out the details on the middle and center of the back muscles. Combined with exercises like the wide grip and close gri[p pull-ups, the low pulley rows will add the finishing details that all of the great backs from from bodybuilding legends such as Lee Labrada, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dave Draper have.

For this exercise you will need access to a low pulley row machine with a V-bar handle. The V-bar handle will enable you to have a neutral grip where the palms of your hands face each other.  This sort of grip will also enable you to keep the arms close to your torso.  In this manner, you can better activate the midback muscles.

In order to learn how to properly perform this exercise and get the most benefit from it, please take a look at the Low Pulley Row Bodybuilding Exercise Description.

I think this exercise explained has helped many of our training contestants. i have used it as well. I will have to see when I try my max lift. Do you think this will help my bench pressing?
