Thanks, Jerry_G Bent over BB rows. T-bar Rows. When you do them, don't just bring the weight up. concentrate on squeezing the shoulder blades together.

It's starts the same as a barbell row but you just shrug your rhomboids like a standing shrug for traps, keeping your arms straight. locker

The trap and rhomboid muscles are both between the shoulder blades. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/BackGeneral/BBBentOverRow.html http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/BackGeneral/DBBentOverRow.html http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/BackGeneral/CBWideGripSeatedRow.html Others > > http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/BackWt.html

A variation on the above shrug is to use dumbbells and rotate your arms to different positions. Palms forward will isolate your rhomboids a bit more. Palms back will work the lower traps. locker |
