Back: One Arm Rows

This is a very hard exercise if done properly.

You will use a great amount of energy doing this and build a lot of thickness in the lats and upper back.

A bigger stronger upper back will also help bring your bench press up.

Execution

Grasp a dumbbell you can handle easily.

Place your opposite hand and knee on a bench now keep your back as flat as possible.

Holding the dumbbell let your arm swing slightly forward so you can fell a stretch in your lats.

Now pulling the dumbbell to your waist (it should move in a slight ark) squeeze your lats as hard as you can for two to three seconds.

Slowly return the dumbbell to the starting position for a good stretch.
