t-bar row

Pendlay or you're a faggot.

>>39154480
Why is that? And if you mention SS or Alan Thrall then you get a slap.

>>39154523
I feel pendlays hit my upper back and rhomboids more than, say, 45 degree rows.

I already get enough lat work with pullups and pulldowns.

>>39154523
because if you want to do shrugs do shrugs

>>39154523

No cheating if you're doing them right, great for the upper back, lower back and core, can be done anywhere. Chest supported rows would be best of all, but aren't as accessible because a lot of gyms don't have the apparatus.

get the fuck out with your minimalist bullshit

Why are they best?

>>39154615

Dumbbell rows are good

Dumbbell Rows full stretch and contraction. Pendlay Rows for powerful explosive movement.

Kroc rows

>>39154476
This
But use proper form, unlike 75% of the dyel faggots at my gym that keep their legs almost straight

Pendlay Rows
DB Rows
Block Pulls

>>39154461
My favourites are:
>Pendlay Row
Perfect balance against a bench press, 100% vertical pull
>One arm DB Row
Fantastic ROM, easy to progress. These combine to make it a big mass builder

My least favourite is:
>T-Bar Row
I find the plates hit my chest and limit ROM.

Pull up

>>39154761
Not a Row variant anon.

if you dont do pendlay rows just lol.

pendlay or t bar

>yates rows
just do pendlay and a bicep exercise later

>dumbell rows
just kill yourself

>>39154461
Okay let's settle this once and for all. Which row variant is 4chan and which row variant is reddit. I feel like Yate's rows are 4chan and Pendlay rows are reddit. Yate's rows are just all-round boss and general bad ass whereas Pendlay rows are annoying and whiny af. Similar to 4chan vs reddit. Could just be a coincidence but I've wondered if their creators did this on purpose. Either way, it makes for entertaining lifting. Would be interested to hear your theories on which row variant is 4chan and which row variant is reddit and why.

Don't you guys find that Barbell rows are fucking risky for your lower back? Yeah, yeah, check your form faggot and such, but seriously. If you are going to get injured by an exercise in the gym, it will either be squat, DL or barbell row.

I don't want to drop squat and DL, but can you replace barbell row well?

Kroc

>>39156905

No

Because I'm not a little bitch and my lower back can easily support my row loads

>load up 105kg for reps

Meadows row desu. Started doing these a while back, good for when you max out the DBs.

>>39154735
Put 25s on for t bar rows. What is your working weight? You should be able to fit at least 200lbs with 25s

What do you call that machine behind him, that does pretty much the same thing?

>>39158430
Chest supported row. Very different exercise.

>>39158536

>Very different exercise.

how?

>>39158587
not the guy you asked, but it pretty much limits the lift to a few back muscles rather than your full back.

>>39158587
I am the guy you asked, and >>39158603 is right.

It's for hitting the upper back, without any strain on the lower back. No "cheating" possible by hitching it up.

>>39156969
Not him but I usually do sets of 8 with 300lbs

>>39154480
Pendlays are physically impossible for me. My legs are too long and my arms/torso are too short. I can't bring the bar upwards because my knees are in the way.

Alvin Rows

Lever inverted rows

Can't do pendly rows without hurting my lower back for some reason. I keep it flat and i do squat/dl so i know my erectors aren't too weak to stabilize. It could be my hammies are too tight but it isn't worth the pain so i just do db row

>>39157919
>when you nut but she keep suckin

>>39157871
That's an inverted row you faggot. Not a pullup.

db pendlay rows...full row full back full stablizers full autism...no one at your gym does'em except me the in corner

Bent over rows with a little cheat

Rows are THE exercise to cheat on, along with shrugs

Pendlays are fine but I'd rather progress faster in weight and get a bigger stretch

>>39161174
Terrible

>>39161174
You mean upright shoulder impingements

They're fucking shit. Do anything else. Vertical pulling, horizontal pulling, shrugging

>>39156736

But wont they turn me into a girl?
