- Dip weighted 4 series of 6-8 repetitions with pause at the end of the eccentric phase (go down until the elbows are perpendicular to the forearm, hold the position for 1 or 2 seconds and then rise) 60 seconds of rest. The added weight must be such as to be able to reach the maximum limit of the number of repetitions proposed with a good performance
- Barbell rowing machine with pause at the point of maximum contraction 4 sets of 8-10 reps, 2 sets with prone grip and 2 sets with supine grip, in super set with

- Barbell extensions overhead 4 sets of 10-12 reps, 60 seconds rest. When performing this exercise, the arm must be at an angle such as to form an angle greater than 90 degrees with the torso. In this way it is possible to keep the muscle constantly under tension.
