Draft rod in the slope in the first place develops the widest muscle of the back. Also this exercise involves a large round muscle, the rear deltoids, biceps and forearms. That's why this exercise should be part of your workout. Do three sets of 8-12 repetitions. The typical mistake of the guys is that they lift too heavy a weight, as a result of which they use a push to lift weights; their torso descends about 45 degrees from the floor during the descent phase and sometimes rises to 70-80 degrees during the elevation phase. How do you know if you are doing the exercise correctly? If you feel movement in the trapezius muscle, you are probably standing too straight up and raising the bar too high.
How to perform the exercise correctly
- The legs are shoulder width apart, the bar is on the floor in front of you
- Take the barbell grasp from above (palms look at you) hands 5-8 cm more than the width of the shoulders
- Pull in your stomach, bend your knees slightly, bend forward at the waist until your torso is at an angle of 45 degrees from the floor
- Keep your back straight (keeping the natural bend in the lower back), the head looks forward
- Bring the bar to the bottom of the chest. Fix, then slowly lower the bar to straighten the arms.
