New Rock Your Body Workout 4: Bent rows
This is part 4 of the new Rock your body workout. This exercise is targeting your upper back and biceps muscles. Stand with your legs slightly bent, holding the dumbbells with overhand grip. Bent forward at the waist, so that the dumbbells are at your knee level. Pull the dumbbells up to the chest and return to the starting position in controlled manner. Changing the hand position and the angle of your upper body will allow you to work your back from different angles. Never round your back when you are doing this exercise. When performing the one arm row, you can maximize the contraction of your muscles by rotating your upper body towards the working side at the top of the movement.
You will do 3 set of 40 reps of bent over rows, and change the movement slightly every 10 reps as shown in the video.
Your weights for this exercise should be lighter than the ones you use for deadlifts or squats, but they should feel heavy. Lifting heavy weight for high reps is the best way to burn fat. You won’t get bulky from lifting heavy weights unless you really want to – so don’t worry about that.
Pavel Tsatsouline in his book From Russia With Though Love writes:
”…forget the myth that low reps are for bulking, and high reps are for toning. The reality is that high calories are for bulking, and low calories are for toning.”
This is totally true. Last summer for instance I had no idea what clean eating was and I was eating everything back than, including candies and deep fried foods. I was slimmer than I am right now, and the reason why, is not because there was some difference in my training, but because I was eating smaller portions.
I started to eat bigger portions in the winter, when I discovered clean eating. I thought that I could eat more, as long as my meals were healthy. My body fat percentage stayed the same, but my muscles got bigger. It has been about 2 weeks now since I started to cut back on the size of my portions, and I can already see some results. My thighs and butt are shrinking. I don’t count my calories anymore, because I find that completely annoying, and instead I just measure my portions by hand.
I noticed that here in Canada and in the United States the portion sizes are gigantic compared to how much people eat in Europe. People here seem to eat very fast. Instead of taking the time to eat and actually taste the food they gobble it down on the run. Your brain needs about 20 minutes to realize that you are full – so you may be full with a much smaller portion if you just give yourself the time to realize it.
Lifting weights is the very best way to burn fat and shape up your body. If you want to make your body lean and tight without bulking up, learn to eat small portions in 2 to 3 hour intervals. Aim for 5 to 6 small meals a day.
This should finally lay to rest any concerns or questions that women have about bulking up when working out with weights.
Best,
Zuzana.
