Week 6 - Student Summer Lifting Series

Day 1

Strength 

Barbell Rows 

  • Build to a heavy 8 in 2-3 warm-up sets then 3x8 
  • Heavy doesn’t mean going to failure. For this, heavy should mean you have 1 maybe 2 reps in reserve, meaning you could do 1 maybe 2 more reps with good form but not 3 more.  

CFHL trainer Kim demonstrates how to perform a barbell row.
