Bodybuilding For Athletes ?!?!
Early in my education as a Strength & Conditioning coach I was taught by several well known and highly respected coaches that athletes should NOT body-build.
These “geniuses” told me that bodybuilding would make athletes “tight and unathletic” and that bodybuilding had no functional carryover to the sports being played.
10 years later…
I body build to get bigger and stronger and my athletes body build to get bigger and stronger.
The fact is that the only way to gain mass is to eat more calories than you expend AND to add bodybuilding to your program.
In this video you’ll meet Drayton (again), and see what we have done to force his body to gain…

Dumbbell Curls – Arm Exercises
Main Muscle Worked: Biceps
Other Muscles Worked: Forearms
Equipment: Dumbbells
Mechanics Type: Isolation
Tips: Stand straight up, with your head up and your legs straight. Start with the dumbbells at arm’s length with your palms facing in. Curl dumbbells up at the same time, twising your wrists on the way up. Your palms should be facing up when you are at the end of the movement. Do NOT swing and do NOT move your elbows. They should stay in the same place during the whole movement. Keep your arms close to your side. This one is easy to cheat on… so don’t do it! You can also do this with a barbell, or by alternating one hand at a time.

One-arm dumbbell rows personally are one of my favorite back exercises. And for a big thick back you need to use heavy dumbbells. But, if you have a tendency on each rep to get that old lawn mower started then you are not doing this movement right. Doing them that way will make you a point of discussion on how not to do things in the gym, and of course they will not increase size or strength if done in that manner. So, are you a lawn mower starter when it comes to dumbbell rows?
Remember, to keep your back parallel with the floor resting one arm and a knee on a bench. Grasp the dumbbell with the free arm, raise the dumbbell right up to your side squeezing the lats then lower the dumbbell to the starting position about an inch off the floor. Do 6 to 8 reps for 3 to 4 sets with each arm. Always start with your weaker side or weaker arm.
