"Once again instead of having that ground of stability on the floor, we're going to take a traditional exercise, a row for the rear dealt, and have that ball in front of us. We're going to have to press out here. Now if you really need to, you can put your knee into it as well. But if you can, just have your hand down here. Now you have to control the momentum from that ball of going anywhere. Same concept applies, you got a torso and hips square to the floor, knees in line with the hips and ankles. You got your line of pull slightly on the diagonal for the start of the position. Exhale back. Inhale down, leaving the hips square. Things are starting to shake a little bit with that added resistance and stabilization of the ball. Pull it in to the mid-line of the body. No sense to go any further, you'll just put impingement on the shoulder joint. Our goal is to work close to your rear dealt, some rhomboids, right in through the thoracic. Hold and release. You want to squeeze in about 12-15 reps. Choose a weight that'll fatigue in about 12-15 reps. And then of course, just switching sides. You want to have alternating foot, leg out and opposition to the arm. Just like that."
