Tip: Strength Intensity Progression

Ring rows and pull-ups are two of the greatest exercises for forcing a high level of muscular tension in the areas being trained. The back muscles working during these exercises are quite literally holding on for dear life, which leads to a high level of recruitment. This level of recruitment helps facilitate a better stimulus. Each week of this progression, focus on improving the mind-to-muscle connection with the lats and aim to increase reps each week.
