Alternate both arms for the desired number of reps. So - left-right - this is one rep. Cheers, Yavor John,

Excellent recommendations buddy! Yavor Chuck,

If it is primarily a core stabilization exercise and not a back exercise, wouldn't more reps/slower reps be best [basically to increase time under tension]? although a very long set would potentially just turn it into a dynamic plank variation.

You have to stay as rigid and stable as possible. I will probably shoot another video to show more angles. The challenge here is not the rowing motion, but the stabilization of the core/body. You can try doing it with heavier dumbbells if it is really so easy for you. The real strong guys at our gym do this with heavy dumbbells - 32 - 40 kgs (70-90lbs). And these guys can do 2xBW+ deadlifts and squats. It is easy to swing around the dumbbell and especially to twist the hips. This is not how the exercise is done. I will add a few examples in a new post. Andy,

First time I did them in November, my abs were aching for days. But now when I do them, I don't get much at all. Should I try balancing with one foot? Yeah, I love these exercises.
