Hey guys, today i decided to change my workout abit and took out standard dumbell rows and replaced them with Single Arm Barbell rows
Heres what they look like if you dont know http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/bent-over-one-arm-long-bar-row
A friend of mine had told me about them and said that they're great and really build strength in your pull more than most do, so i finally gave them a go.
I only did light weight sets just to get used to them,
Anyway after the 2nd set my sternum started to hurt abit and by the 3rd it was clear pain there like i had taken a hard knock right in the sternum.
Only i made sure i did the exercise properley and went slow the whole time only letting the plate gently touch my chest before i let it down and never pulled it really hard into my chest even on the last rep,
I dont have a video camera so i cant get you guys to check my form but could you guys give any pointers as to why my sternum area of my chest would be hurting and whether or not i should just drop this exercise because apart from the sternum pain it worked really well.
Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated guys
