What would be the best exercise to develop the muscles between the scapula. I have tried all rowing movements but nothing works well. It seems that T-bar rows hit that area well but they cause pain in my knee so I have to avoid them. I am doing chest supported rows but don’t get the same benefit. Is there a trick or one exercise which I need to prioritize.
I am 225 lbs at 6ft 2. I have been lifting for more than 5 years with the 5x5 model.
I have always called them seal rows or chinese rows. I would not pull as high as Dan does and I would keep my legs resting on the bench.[/quote]
Those are technically chest supported rows, I guess, but with a very different focus from the standard version. They are noticeably different from what I would typically call a seal row or a chinese row, but nevermind, arguing semantics bores me to tears.
OP, forget the name and follow the instructions in the article.
