seated row and dumbbell row (38kg)

I need to keep progressing on horizontal pulling movements.
Should I continue using the same weight and focus on slower reps?
What do?

>pic related
>>
80% of /fit/ are still novices lol you're not going to get decent help here
>>
this is why barbells > dumbells/machines etc

barbells have infinite progression, you wouldn't have this problem if you were barbell rowing.
>>
>>37480073
Slower reps help, remember its time under tension is what counts.

>>37480369
machines are good thought because you are under constant tension with each rep.
>>
>>37480073

Sorry, what? Your seated row machine only goes up to 38kg?
>>
>>37480073
>DBs only go up to 38kg
Damn, get a new gym dude.

Also, barbells exist, but yeah, paused reps are pretty dope if you absolutely refuse to learn a barbell row variation (or otherwise back movement, may I suggest snatch grip rack pulls?)
>>
>>37480369
I don't think barbell rows are the best for back development
Something chest supported or single handed is far superior since you can target your back more effectively.

But now I think I do need to start barbell rowing.
I'm concerned if I should barbell row the day after squats and deadlifts or 2 days before.
(I follow a LOWER/UPPER/REST/LEGS/PUSH/PULL/REST routine)

I need to make sure my lower back doesn't get taxed and hinder my squat and deadlift progress

Seated row machine goes up to 100kg
Dumbbells go up to 38kg

>snatch grip rack pulls
Pic related is the squat rack my gym has.
I don't think I can perform snatch grip rack pulls in that
>>
>>37480428
The guy with the most insane fucking back at my gym literally just does barbell rows and weighted pull-ups.

His back looks like a fucking road map of 3D muscles.
>>
>>37480460
Do them from plates then you underage dweeb, show some initiative and inventiveness.

>>37480073
I just recently switched from dumbbell rows to chest supported dumbbell rows.
It makes one hell of a difference and I went from rowing 25kg to 14kg.
Try it out,its the most strict way of doing rows. Combine that with slow, controlled reps pulling to your hips and you should take your rowing to the next level.
Mirin your gains btw,keep it up
>>
>>37480675
so you're rowing as much as you squat/diddly? kek
>>
>>37480861
No, I think this is the first I've ever posted that. I've been away for many months anon. Was taking a shit this morning and didn't have anything better to read.

Nice.
Do you do them like pic related or place yourself lower on the bench?

I'm thinking about picking chest supported dumbbell rows and a power movement (barbell rows)
>>
>>37480960
Exactly like pic related,my set up looks a little more unsafe but it's that incline chest support that really keeps the movement strict for me.
At the moment Im doing those and horizontal rows,if you squeeze at the end of the movement you'll be tired very quickly.
But yeah,sounds like a good strategy,good luck with them gains anon
>>
>>37480936
Less than I deadlift, more than I squat.

285 strict row
395 dl
Roughly 225 squat
>>
OP, how did you get such a good chest/delt tie in as a natty? pls respond also height?

OP you are a gigantic fucking pussy.
