Pull day: upper body focus Strength intenisty 1 Approach/Progression Over the next six weeks, the progression focuses on building strength and muscle mass in the back through variations of dumbbell rows. To maximize results, ensure consistent exercise execution with proper form and tempo. Start with a weight that challenges but allows completion of the prescribed reps with good form, gradually increasing the load as you progress through the weeks. Maintain a controlled tempo throughout the movement, emphasizing the eccentric phase to maximize muscle activation and growth. Aim to increase the weight for the first working set by 2-5% each week to ensure progressive overload. Additionally, push yourself to form failure during the final set to perform as many reps as possible with the same weight used in the first set, aiming for the specified rep range.
