Bored of the usual routine? Looking for a new shoulder exercise? In a new article for the Total Bodybuilding Exercise Guide, we bring you an exercise that can help develop the deltoid muscles in a brutal way, the rowing to the neck!
This is an exercise aimed primarily at men, since working together on both areas could be said to confer a greater degree of “masculinity” to put it in a way that is understood.
It is a variant for shoulder training not very easy to perform, so we recommend starting with low weight until you master the technique properly.
In this way we benefit from performing the exercise correctly, thus achieving the desired results, and avoiding any injury that an incorrect execution could generate.
HOW TO PERFORM THE ROWING TO THE NECK?
- We stand with our legs slightly apart from each other, with our backs straight, the bar taken in pronation resting on the thighs and the hands apart, a little more than the width of our shoulders.
- We inspire and raise the bar to the height of the chin, raising the elbows as high as possible while performing the movement.
- At the end of the movement exhale and lower the bar trying to control its descent as much as possible to avoid any type of pull.
The exercise can also be done with dumbbells taking the same precautions in terms of bodybuilding technique.
What muscles does the rowing to the neck with barbell develop?
This exercise requests different muscle groups to a greater or lesser extent within which we find the deltoids, trapezius, biceps and forearms. At the same time, we request the abdominals and buttocks to maintain the stability of the position.
TIPS FOR APPLYING TO THE NECK PADDLE WITH BAR
Maintain an upright posture throughout the movement, with your elbows pointing sideways as the bar rises along your torso. With regard to the hands remember that they should not be above the elbows.
If they make a wide grip of the bar the effort is oriented to the deltoid, while a narrower grip emphasizes the trapezius so they would already be working a different muscle area than they want, pay attention to this point.
Avoid excessive shrinkage or rounding of the shoulders, this will avoid pain and possible injuries.
