Did kroc rows but I maxed out with the dumbbels in my gym. Gonna start doing meadows rows or maybe one arm t-bar rows next week. Probably gonna be fun.

how do I know if I'm doing krok rows or regular db rows? when I try to cheat it just feels really controlled

meadows rows

I do them with one hand on my knee because using a bench with a hand and knee on it feels weird to me. I pull the dumbbell from the floor like im starting a lawnmower.

barbell rows
seated cable rows

>>41391337
is overhand or underhand grip better for bb?

>>41391346
if you're worried about that, just do both.

personally, I use overhand on barbell rows and neutral grip (narrow and wide) on cable rows.

i don't feel shit anywhere when i do rows, even with low weight and pause at the top. what am i doing wrong?

Are seated cable rows a good substitute for barbell row?

you're not squeezing the proper muscles. Or any muscles for that matter.

>>41391181
Pendlay rows (medium and snatch grip (with snatch I try to keep it really strict)). Managed regular grip 105 kg 3x8 and snatch 95x10. I also started doing T-bar rows 50 kg 3x12 with two handles like in the video below, I hope to reach 90 kg on these as I use 10 kg plates.

I do all these after pull ups.

>>41391465
yeah, they can be.
still probably a good idea to do barbell rows.

see >>41391467 for proper form.

>>41391467
why not just go on a rowing machine at that point?

>>41391550
weight and resistance is completely different.

you're supposed to do this with a weight you can't do more than 12 reps with.

>>41391550
>>41391582
oh, and ofcourse you just use your back with this.

rowing machine uses legs to do the majority of the work.

so which one is best, db rows on machine

>>41391607
>so which one is best
combining different types.

Guys, speaking about barbell rowing, what is the best way to achieve back thickness but also decent strenght gains?

I've found out that parallel barbell rows are goat for working the lats, but do jackshit for strenght if you are keeping serious form and not an exeptional cunt.
Cable Rows are awesome because of not having to use hips/lower back/legs for stabilizing but even if you can row 120kg it doesn't transition to other rows/exercises.

Now, what is the best way to work lats but also make good strenght gains? Bent over row pulling to the hips?

>>41391664
weighted neutral grip pull-ups.

properly done seated cable rows, or even barbell rows or t-bar rows, should transfer to other exercises.

>>41391235
Pick a weight you can't row strict and cheat row it. Now you know the movement.

>>41391752
b-but my dumbbells only go up to 52kg, can you do the same with barbell row?

>>41391779
Probably.
Alternatively you can do as many strict reps as you can with your heaviest dumbbell, and then start cheating when you can't do anymore.

I am talking about rows

>>41391818

that's gonna be weighted neutral grip pull-ups.
rows are better for mid back thickness.

I've never really done rows except for early in my lifting career, but I'm looking to try them again.
Do you guys get any bicep gains from regular overhand BB rows? Mine are shit and it would be nice with some additional bicep work. I'm thinking of doing them like Ed Coan says.

>>41391181
barbell bent over row
kroc row/regular db
sometimes t-bar

mostly cheaty reps

T bar, Kroc and meadows are what I do. I can never really get comfy with the regular barbell rows it bothers my wrists. They either fell too close and I can't bend them enough (side to side) to get a proper contraction or they're too wide feel bad too

>>41391862
overhand builds mostly forearms.

>>41391889
try suicide grip bench width.

Bent rows mostly, now. I used to do kroc rows, but I got to the point where I was hitting 75kg for 20 and realised that they weren't doing as my much for my back gains as I'd have liked.

Kroc rows build strong traps.

>>41392146
ayy

>>41392178

lmao

>>41391664

Yates row is the thing u are looking for.

Doing them for some time crazy strength gains and good carryover to my weighted chins and deads.

>>41391181
I do pendlay and high rep db rows. I also do sitting cable rows, reverse sitting cable rows, and t-bar rows. I use low weight tho, I'll do at least 6 sets of 20. For instance, db rows, I'll use 65 lbs but do 6 sets of 25.
