Lakomowski seeks a professional present win in 2024 to qualify for the 2024 Determine Olympia.
Final up to date on March 18th, 2024
Within the Determine division, athletes are judged closely on steadiness and form, particularly within the again, shoulders, hamstrings, and glutes. Determine bodybuilders prepare their backs to construct the coveted V-taper.
Professional Determine competitor Ashley Lakomowski pulled again the curtain on her again exercise eight weeks out of a bodybuilding present in a video printed on her YouTube channel. Lakomowski seeks a professional present victory to earn qualification for the 2024 Olympia, scheduled for Oct. 10-13 in Las Vegas, NV.
Ashley Lakomowski’s Again Exercise
Here’s a abstract of the exercise:
Take a look at the session under through Lakowmowski’s YouTube channel.

Lat Pulldowns
Lakomowski opened with neutral-grip lat pulldowns to advertise again width. She employed gradual eccentrics and paused within the absolutely shortened place, which has been proven to result in higher hypertrophy through will increase in muscle protein synthesis charges in comparison with sooner repetitions. (1)
Lakomowski maintained an upright torso all through the train. She saved her elbows tight on eccentrics to limit momentum and preserve rigidity on the goal muscle mass.
T-Bar Rows
The determine bodybuilder added cable D-handle attachments to the T-bar machine’s handles and held them with a prorated grip within the beginning place, externally rotating her wrists on concentrics.
Lakomowski flared her elbows on concentrics, partaking the lats, traps, rear delts, rhomboids, and teres main and minor. Staying in step with train cues from the earlier train, Lakomowski used gradual eccentrics and paused on the high.
Single-Arm Machine Rows & Smith Machine Shrugs
Unilateral coaching may help determine and repair muscle and power imbalances. Lakomowski positioned her chest flat towards the machine’s pad and grabbed the deal with with a impartial grip. She pulled her elbow to the midline and paused within the absolutely shortened place to maximise lat activation.
Lakomowski positioned her torso at 45 levels for the Smith machine shrugs, grabbing the bar with a shoulder-wide overhand grip. She initiated the motion by retracting the scapula after which shrugging the shoulders whereas the elbows remained prolonged to bias the higher again.
Lakomowski managed the negatives on the shrugs to make sure the goal muscle mass moved the burden. A Journal of Physiology research concluded that gradual eccentrics have been linked to elevated muscle harm (a think about muscle progress) than the concentric part. (2)
Straight-Arm Lat Pull-Downs & Hyperextensions
Lakomowski set her torso at 45 levels within the beginning place on the straight-arm lat pull-downs. She grabbed the rope attachment with a impartial grip and pulled her fingers to her stomach button whereas holding her elbows tight to the perimeters.
Lakomowski concluded the exercise with three units of hyperextensions to construct the ‘Christmas tree’ aesthetic within the decrease again.
