Hi! I’m personal trainer Mike Coangelo. I’m here at Fit for Life Training Studio
in Glassboro, New Jersey. In the clip, we’re going to demonstrate how to do a unilateral
seated row with a twist. What you want to do is you want to start; again, with your
legs and a slight bend, your back nice and straight, palms down, extend your arm where
your scapula start to stretch. On the way back, you’re going to pull in. On the way
in, half way in, you turn the palm up. Squeeze at the back. This gives you more of a contraction
on your bicep and your lat muscles. Return, turn, squeeze. Now, when you return, you want
to start that twist mid-way. You want to go back, twist again, just like so. You’re
going to get more of a bicep and a lot of contraction when you’re doing it this way.
Again, you don’t want to throw the weight around. Okay. Two seconds on the positive;
3-4 seconds on the negative. Squeeze the weight. We don’t want to do this kind of thing cause
we’ll lose all the effectiveness of our exercise. Again, mid-way point; squeeze it,
return at mid-way point. Now, when you do this exercise, you’re going to notice a
big change in the way you feel the movement, because a lot more motor units is going to
be fired up because of the change of the angle and the difference in the range of motion
with the exercise. Twelve to fifteen repetitions. Squeezing; you’re starting to feel that
burn, squeeze. Do one more, squeeze it, and return. That’s how you do a unilateral seated
row with a twist.
