In reply to Kebochu. I would train the left arm, then the right and then take a 1 minute rest.

When you have an exercise where you alternate arms, would you still take breaks? Or will the dormant arm have already taken enough of a rest while the other arm was lifting?

Well it’s a row and deadlift, but it was one the exercises that got Matt Kroc to 810 deadlift and so it works. Jim Wendler lists it as an assistance work in his 5/3/1 book.

Also.

In reply to Pargie. Is that a one-handed deadlift? ;)

“I have seen people do dumbbell rows where the entire thing looked more like a hip exercise.”

Like Kroc Rows?

Well if you plan on doing them, advance to straddle front lever hold.

Here’s an article.

Then you should have enough strength to do them.

In reply to Pargie. Yep, when basic back strength is in place, those are a very interesting alternative!

I would suggest advancing to front lever rows as they only require pullup bar and work every muscle in the back + biceps and forearms.
