Exercise The Right Way - Seated Pulley Rows
Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders' training regimes. It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of the little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over the years, all the better. In this article we'll take a close look at Seated Pulley Rows. MUSCLES TARGETED: latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboids, erector spinae STARTING POSITION Grasp the handle with palms facing inward. Straighten arms, sit on padding and place feet on the floor rests. Maintain slightly bent knees. Lean forward with head but keep back straight. EXERCISE TECHNIQUE Bring the torso to an erect position whilst pulling handle towards the abdomen. Arch the back slightly and keep the elbows close to the torso.
Return to the starting position. Repeat this movement until the intended number of repetitions have been completed. OTHER EXERCISES WORTH CONSIDERING Another exercise worth considering is the T-Bar Row (additionally targets biceps brachialis but not trapezius muscles).

Whats Your Body Type?

Anabolic Hormones - A Two-Edged Sword
When I was a young boy, emerging muscles were the coolest thing. If a vein popped out a little, that was even more awesome. There were no fitness centers or body building gyms to amount to anything back then (Stone Age).

The Role Of Repetitions In Your Muscle Building Program
Repetitions are the basic building blocks of any strength or muscle building program but it is something that many lifters take for granted.

Personal Training: 3 Keys to Training Clients in Their Homes
When considering your options as a personal trainer, one of the very first things to decide is WHERE you are going to train your clients. The most obvious answer for most trainers is to get a job at a local fitness facility and train clients there. This is certainly an option, and one that is recommended especially in the beginning of your career. The structure and experience that you will get by working at a successful gym or fitness center is invaluable for a new personal trainer. However, there are drawbacks to working with your clients at a gym, and some clients will be unwilling or unable to workout at a local facility. Don't lose those clients by not having other options!
Know Your Muscles - The Mid-Section
Becoming familiar with the muscles that make up your body has more benefits than simply allowing you to talk shop with your training partners.

In this article we'll get to know the muscles that make up the mid-section.
What Is Strength Training?
Traditional strength training consists of performing one to three (or more) sets of exercises on a specific, isolated muscle group. One rep, or repetition, equals one complete movement of the exercise from start to finish. For example, for a bicep curl you might begin with your arm extended down by your side holding the weight, say a dumbbell, curl the weight upward to your shoulder by bending your elbow, and then lower the weight back to the starting position. That's one rep. Do that 8-12 times and you've completed one set of bicep curls. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds to allow your muscle to recuperate and you're ready for the next set.
