Exercise/Drill #3

The broadest muscle in the back is called the latimuss dorsi.  It’s responsible for extension, adduction, horizontal abduction, flexion from and extended position, and internal rotaion of the shoulder joint. This muscle plays a huge role in throwing a softball.  It’s important for the muscle to be nice and strong. 
This excersice will strength the latimuss dorsi muscle.  It is called the BENT OVER ROW.


Start off with right hand and right knee placed on an exercise bench.  Left foot is on the floor, and left hand holding a weight. Keep back straight.

Bring the weight up to your torso keeping your elbow close to body, hold, and then release back down. Don’t lock out your elbow. The amount of weight depends on how many sets and reps should be done.  Be sure to switch and do the same on the other side.
