One of Paul Chek’s most popular presentations, this lecture has been fully revised and updated with current research. Pulling exercises such as the deadlift, low row, lat. pull-down, and bent-over row can cause injury to back, necks and shoulders if not performed correctly. Yet all too often there is a lack of technical expertise in administering these exercises. Paul presents the biomechanical, kinesiological, kinematic and neurophysiological foundations behind the technical guidelines for these exercises. Learn why a behind the head lat. pull-down places extreme stress on the cervical spine and shoulder. Understand how to assess proper muscle recruitment during rowing exercises. Tips on grip selection and sequencing, wrist strap considerations and breathing will also be given.
