Lifters often get into the habit of pressing too much without balancing out their movements with equal pulling motions. Benching or overhead pressing too much can cause a shoulder imbalance and kyphosis which leads to a rounding of the upper back and abnormal curvature of the spine. Any variation of rowing or pulldown motion will help prevent this. These exercises will also help prevent ILS and help promote RLS. These too are real issues. This is why I made my first exercise spotlight the cable row. They’re easy to perform, don’t place any stress on your joints, and give you a nice pump. I try to include at least one rowing motion and one pulldown motion twice a week for 3 sets of 8 to 12 reps.

Here’s my poor wife, Trinity, being subjected to being my exercise model and me doing my best to speak on camera using a voice that I was told was too “monotone.” I’ll work on it.

Since Instagram only allows one minute videos I had to split these into two. From here on I’m going to make it my mission to give as much info on each exercise as I can in one minute.
