These are basically just high rep db rows without obsessive concern with perfect form, i guess popularized by some super strong dude Matt Kroczaleski or something who does these with like 200-300lb dbs, but who cares...
I started doing these maybe 2 months ago, and I really like them so I thought I would mention them and give a testimonial.
In that time span, the dbs gone up 5 lbs every 8 days. (i'm doing 4 workouts cycled right now)... I do 2 sets of 20.
So for example,
50x20
55x20
...
80x20
Yea it's been going up that fast and showing no signs of slowing down. I'm actually kind of shocked at how fast I was able to do my set yesterday. I could've done 5 more if i really wanted with my right arm, but i'm patient and like steady progress.
One big advantage of the lift is grip strength. I find it easier to hold the db now than i did when it was much less. Since it's high reps there's a lot of time under tension. Once in a while i have to put the db down and re-grip it, but no biggie as this becomes less and less of a need as grip strength improves. So it's really like a static hold but you're not just standing there like an idiot. From what i've read, it's supposed to be even better since you're forced to hold something while it's under motion like you would for a deadlift so it's really supposed to help with that.
It really gets me winded too. I need to get back to sled pulling.
