Increase intensity and muscle activation by adding a 2-3 second hold at the peak contraction. This enhances muscular endurance and the mind-muscle connection.
Level:Advanced
Type:Machine-based
Technique
How to perform
1
Initiate the movement like a standard circular row, using a slightly lighter weight than you normally would.
2
Pull the handles back, and once you reach peak contraction, pause the movement.
3
Hold the position for 2-3 seconds, actively squeezing your shoulder blades and back muscles as hard as possible.
4
Release the hold and return the weight very slowly and with control to the starting position, resisting the weight on the way back.
5
Take a brief pause before the next repetition to ensure perfect focus on each rep.
