What makes a good exercise for firefighters? Any? All? Well, if you want to get technical then "yes and yes." Today I want to give a quick upgrade for the row movement, firefighters, emts, and paramedics are asked to lift heavy things in akward and unbalanced situations. Keeping this in mind, I often ask firefighters how and if the exercises that they perform on a regular basis challenge their balance, strength and core. The DB Row is a great exercise and with a few manipulations can be tailored to the Fire Rescue Athlete, take a look below.....

Please note that this exercise requires a lot of core strength and shoulder stability, lower your weights until you feel comfortable with the exercise.
