Bodybuilding veteran Rich Gaspari has developed a unique eye for the sport since stepping away from the bright lights. He’s known for providing valuable tips based on his years of competing against the best. In a recent Instagram post, Gaspari shared his technique for building the back using the incline dumbbell one-arm row.

Rich Gaspari led a decorated career in the IFBB Pro League Men’s Open division with his insane muscle mass, definition, and conditioning. He started his career in the mid-80s and is widely credited for being the first athlete to display glute striations. He proved to be one of the most consistent competitors, racking up three silver medals in a row at Mr. Olympia contests from 1986 to 1988. Although he did not win the Sandow trophy, Gaspari created history by becoming the inaugural winner of the Arnold Classic. His final outing happened at the 1996 San Jose Pro Invitational.

Despite moving on from competition, Gaspari has kept his finger on the pulse of bodybuilding. He took issue with the rampant use of PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs) in female divisions such as Wellness and Bikini earlier this year. He suspected that coaches are to blame as they push clients to take steroids unnecessarily and as a result, risk their health.

Gaspari provided fans with some of his best tips for growing muscle in the lower body three months ago. He encouraged going to failure between 20 and 50 reps and offered techniques for training as hard as possible.

The bodybuilding veteran wants to see changes. Rich Gaspari fired shots at modern competitors for not paying attention to their calf muscle development weeks ago. He gave fans a look into the calf training he did in his days of competing on stage and admitted it was hard to grow the muscle group.

Gaspari has also shed light on the health risks of bodybuilding. He voiced his disapproval of the rise in Trenbolone use and laid out some of the adverse effects of taking the compound which included damage to the liver and the cardiovascular system. 

Rich Gaspari Shares Tips for Developing Back Thickness with Incline One Arm Row

In a recent Instagram post, Rich Gaspari shared tips for developing back thickness with incline one-arm rows. He stressed using an incline bench and minimizing any swing in the movement.

“Here is a great way to do your one arm rows and do them strict with no swing,” said Gaspari. “Doing on the incline bench takes out the momentum of doing a DB row and makes them really work middle back thickness.”

Gaspari offered a brutal variation of the sumo squats for building strength in the lower body two months ago. He suggested using an elevated platform to extend the range of motion so as to feel the burn in the glutes.

Rich Gaspari opened up on the techniques he would use to carve out his abs during his prime a few weeks back. Whether it’s hypertrophy or slow-mo reps for muscle growth, Gaspari has a unique understanding of training mechanics following several wars on stage.

If you’re aiming to build a strong and muscular back while minimizing the risk of injury, the single-arm incline dumbbell row is an excellent choice. Whether you’re a beginner focusing on getting the form right or an experienced gym-goer seeking a fresh challenge, this exercise has got you covered.

Gaspari is a living legend, who continues to contribute to the sport and its competitors with intense workouts. At 60 years old, he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
