CHEST
SUPPORTED
ROW
VARIATIONS
=
THICKNESS
Exercise # 10: Chest Supported Dumbbell Rows
Exercise # 11: Barbell Seal Rows
PLEASE NOTE:

Just doing these exercises haphazardly & hoping for the best is NOT enough.

You can pick the best exercises in the world for Back growth (which these are) but if you don’t nail your technique, volume allotment, intensity, frequency, etc. then you may struggle (or even fail) to grow.

Exercise selection is the FIRST THING you need to get right when programming for muscle growth (hypertrophy) but all the other variables matter as well!

Bulking Tip # 1: Control your rate of gain

1.5-2 pounds gained per MONTH is PLENTY

This translates to about .5 pounds per week but do NOT freak out if you aren’t gaining EXACTLY that much…zoom out and look at the monthly total gained

This rate of gain will be ensure you maximize muscle gain while keeping fat gain to a minimum
Bulking Tip #2: Accept that you will gain fat

Gaining fat is an unfortunate but necessary byproduct of bulking…get over it

Don’t be one of those people who under-eats while attempting to bulk out of the fear of gaining fat

IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN

Your job is simply to minimize fat gain to the greatest extent you can

And how do you do that? See Bulking Tip # 1 above!
