Nick is right, where are the rows?

What is this for?

This is the weights class I am taking at school because during Tennis it is hard to get to the gym after practice (which is until 6).

And yea, I'm going to do some 1 Arm DB rows while the coaches aren't looking tomorrow, I noticed the lack of horizontal pulling too.

It's unfortunate some coaches/teachers still like isolation work. The bicep curls can be incorporated into a larger movement, such as a lunge. You could even do as Alwyn does and make it a lunge with over head press, which will definitely work the biceps, triceps and deltoids.

Since this is a class, why not ask about why they aren't there? Everyone is there to learn, and perhaps the coach can offer an explanation or perhaps correct the problem. Could be a simple oversight.
