How the FUCK do i barbell row with proper form.
I don't have the fucking flexibility and if I bend down too much like this faggot in the pic I'll just fall over.

barbell row doesn't lend itself well to aggressive linear progression as you have now learned (fuck barbell rows - Mark Rippetoe)
do them as an accessory movement and progress on them when you can do so without your form going to shit instead of adding weight every session until you are doing some retard flailing shit that doesn't hit your back
or just do DB rows, t-bar rows, cable rows, any row variation that doesn't cantilever your torso while you try and lift a barbell in an extremely mechanically inefficient way

Starting Strength has a section on them in the book.
They kind of fucking blow though, just do chins instead
Probably the most inefficient and stupid exercise you can do with a barbell.

Cable rows are much better imho. You can mind against back activation so much more easily.

BRO DO DUMBBELL ROWS WITH SCOOBYS FORM I GUARANTEE ITS 100X BETTER
>>42311675
Meh, I do t-bars and seated cable rows
>>42311675
SL is full of shit, doing them like the left is absolutely fine
do it with just the bar until you can do it properly and increase weight, you can also do it with your back like the first picture but with an underhand grip.

I think both are fine. Starting below the knee like on the left lets you cheat a little as you pull, which i love to do heavier weight with. Penlday rows like the right are great for explosive pulling. To switch it all up a bit use a supine grip. Just keep rowing.

>not doing pendlay rows
Its like you niggers don't want back gains.
Fuck barbell rows. T bar rows, cable rows, dumbell rows are all better.
What's a respectable barbell row? I'm doing 1pl8 row but I'm a noob
>>42313407
no one cares how much anyone rows, it's assistance work
One hand barbell row is far superior. Probably the best row there is

You're not supposed to cheat when you pull. If you have to cheat off the floor then there's no fucking way you're explosive enough to get a good squeeze at the top and engage your shit, and there's no way you'll do a proper negative if you don't get a good squeeze. Unless you're on roids and you'll grow muscle no matter what, think both are fine is literal retardation. Don't spread shitty advice just because you don't care about your own workout efficiency.
