Rowing machine dropset

Here, it is a variant with option reserved for people of intermediate level because of decreasing weights. Indeed, there is no break time, the series are chained in a successive manner by decreasing step by step the weights.

The advantage of using degressive series is to optimize the intensity of a muscle group in order to stimulate it more strongly. This technique is generally used to fill a muscle weakness.

Pronation involves less biceps, you lose a little strength in favor of better insulation on the back.

Like  all your bodybuilding exercises, it is important to optimize your diet plan.
