Nick Fit Tip 39 – Want some exercise variants?

What’s up guys, Nick from Fit College.

Want a tip? I’ve got one for you, ‘exercise variants’ In the past I have spoken about the chest and how we can utilise incline and decline pressure so target different proportions of the chest. Well, research is also suggesting we do the same with the back, and in particular with variations of the ‘bent over row’. You see the ‘bent over row’ can put a lot of stress on our L4 and L5 vertebrae and research in suggesting now that the inverted row is a way we can reduce stress on that particular area. What else can the inverted row do? It actually increases the muscle activation in the lacks and thoracic spinal erectus, which means we can target our upper back a little bit more as opposed to our lower back with the ‘bend over row’.

So, incorporate it into your training session to get very good whole back development and incorporate it in there if you happen to be experiencing some pain in the lower back.
