German Volume Training - Barbell Bent Over Rows:
Warm-up:
• Begin with 10 minutes of light cardio and dynamic stretches to increase blood circulation.
Main Set:
1. Weight Selection:
• Choose a weight around 60% of your one-repetition maximum (1RM) for bent over rows.
2. Repetition Scheme:
• Aim for 10 sets of 10 repetitions, maintaining strict form throughout.
3. Rest Intervals:
• Keep rest periods brief, around 60-90 seconds between sets.
4. Form Focus:
• Emphasize a flat back and controlled movement during each repetition.
Complete the remainder of the workout.
Cool Down:
• Conclude with a 5-10 minute light jog or walk to assist in recovery.
• Perform static stretches targeting the back, lats, and arms.
Tips:
1. Gradual Progression:
• Increase the weight gradually as you build strength and master the form.
2. Mindful Rest Periods:
• Stick to short rest intervals to maintain the workout’s intensity.
3. Spotter or Mirror:
• Utilize a mirror or a spotter to ensure proper form, especially as fatigue sets in.
4. Quality Over Quantity:
• Prioritize form to maximize muscle engagement and minimize the risk of injury.
5. Post-Workout Nutrition:
• Consider a protein-rich meal or shake post-workout to support muscle recovery.
