The biggest downside to outback rows is that your rear delts give out your traps and wrongboids, limiting the roath. So in order to get the most out of my outback rows, I start with standard rows, keeping my chin on the pad stops from arching my back and turning my outback row into a wrong machine. Next, I focus on keeping my elbows flared to completely take my lats out of the equation. Then, once I can't get another full rep of rows, I just finish with Kelsal Shrugs to failure. This allows me to stimulate my entire outback, not just my riddles. There's some right and there's some wrong, what does he write about? While he's right, that a Kelsal Shrug will be better at training the traps and wrongboids because you don't have the other action of horizontal extension bringing back your upper arm, as that is not needed to train the traps, but the problem comes when he's talking about supersetting the upper back row in the Kelsal Shrug. It would just be better off to have a rest and then do the Kelsal Shrug or just do the Kelsal Shrug from the start entirely. When you're already fatigued, it's kind of counterintuitive to do the Kelsal Shrug anyway. Why? Because we're doing the Kelsal Shrug to kind of recruit more upper back per se, comparatively to what we'd get in an upper back row. But in the end, since we're already in a fatigued state, we're kind of recruiting those lower threshold muscle fibers. So if you actually want to get the benefits of doing the Kelsal Shrug, we would take the rest or just do it from the start entirely. There's no reason to be sick or sudden. Oh, I might as well do it anyway. I'm going to do it. I don't care what you say. You can do it. You'll get away with it. But it won't be necessarily beneficial. So do what you want.
