Off-season training for football: Dumbbell row, isolated. We're beginning now with the super set series that doesn't have to be completed in the super set and, meaning one exercise will follow the next, but it's a series of exercises that are going to be isolated meaning we're doing one arm at a time and one leg at a time. The first exercise is going to be a dumbbell row and we're going to do it from a staggered stance. So [PH] Jones is going to demonstrate the staggered stance here. He's going to work with the dumbbell. He's being really good by bringing his off-hand behind him so it really helps to take away that want to cheat, but at the same time you can give yourself a little support by using your hand on your knee. He's working with really great full range of motion through the shoulder girdle and the back working down and across, and he's going to do 10 to 15 reps per side and then switch to the other side. And again as you're working on this, all the force production starts with the legs. Feel the connection of your legs to the floor as you're driving up with the arm and the elbow up towards the ceiling. And again from another angle, I want to take this time to mention that the force production comes from the legs up. So he's driving his legs into the ground working for him, his base of support, his legs into the action of the exercise, and then the body will follow driving the elbow up towards the ceiling. And that's the isolated dumbbell row.
