Am I supposed to feel it in my traps? I only feel my lats

>>42842909
elbows should touch your sides slightly, if you want to hit traps

Not OP, but I'm doing Stronglifts too. I love it so far but barbell rows are no fun, I don't really get it, and I feel stupid doing them.

Is there a replacement? Pullups maybe? Or like a row machine I should do instead?

>>42844500
could just do normal rows, you don't feel as much of a spaz doing them mehdi is a sperg

>>42844525
By "normal" do you mean dumbbell? There's a million types of rows.

>>42844672
normie rows, you know what they are

just do kroc rows as heavy as you can for sets of 12, fuck form on the way up but lower them as controlled as you can manage
you'll feel it in your everything

>>42842909
Why is that idiot pulling into this chest?

>>42842909
it's supposed to hit your lats not your traps

the barbell should hit your stomach

>>42844500

DB rows, t-bars, rear delt flyes. Underhand grip bb rows might be worth a shot, more comfy for me

>>42842909
Fuck strict form. Cheat and try and control the eccentric part of the movement

Is there aything wrong with replacing rows with pullups?

If you want fun do t bar rows

What are you talking about you moron? Its basically the exact same as a pendlay, but you don't rest it on the floor. Your arms are still go from straight up to you gut.

>not doing power cleans

>>42844988
The problem isn't ROM, it's that people who do regular BB rows almost always try to lift more weight than they legitimately can, and end up cheating horribly. They do this ridiculous full body bouncing/jerking motion that basically removes the lats from the lift entirely. The pendlay row is easier to do strictly without cheating. Sure you can cheat if you're a dumbass, but it's easier to do them strictly.

This is the one 'lift' I do on a machine. My gym has limited floor space for deadlifts, cleans and etc and my back gets enough work from everything else that I don't really care too much.
