I take it that you want a thick back, right?

How’d I know?!?!

Well, it’s nice of you to think that I’m a world-class sleuth but the inclusion of one-armed dumbbell rows in your routine is sort of what gave it away.

That common issue is the use of momentum to move the weight rather than the intended muscles. Deadstop dumbbell rows are the solution to this problem that you didn’t know you had but will pick up on when you perform them and not only find the movement more challenging but also feel your back and lats working in ways that you’ve never felt before when doing one-armed dumbbell rows the way you were doing them.

There are many other signs of weight loss that can let you know you’re on the right path even when the scale is being a bitch by not moving in the direction you want or as fast as you’d like.

How many of the following non-scale victories are you noticing on your weight loss journey? Continue reading Non-Scale Victories List
