BB Rows

[DEANO]

After doing BB Rows i have found that my upper back and rear delts are more sore than my lats or middle back. Is this correct or could i have a form problem. Is it right for me to be kind of sitting back on my heels during the movement like on squats?

Thanks EX, I will have to do that. By the video i think i am standing upright to much and bending my legs a little to much. I guess only the video will tell.

or a training pard who knws what to look for.

ideally i like to be about 30-35° with a flat back and nothing should move cept the arms. of course this is perfect form and impossible to get but as close as possible. do not round off on these, do not shrug the weight and do not do upright rows to the belly. also i like to bring the bar to the crease in my torso and legs, at the bend.

very nice clips ex, if im doing cable rows its not necessary to push my elbows past my sides is it? ie from my shoulder down to elbow should be aligned with my side

where abouts do i aim to bring my arms in?

what kimda cable rows. 1 arm, seated, etc....

for seted i try to touch the handle to my belly. i use a small closed grip handle for these.

for one arms i use a full range of motion.

so yes my elbows go past my sides.

but thats how i do them and everybody is different. other than seated i dont use the cable machines for rows. i like hammer strength and free weights. i used to d 1 arms but 150s is the heviest we got and i can rep them all day. guess i could rig a band up some how on these. =0)

Hey ex,

Do you think this guy has pertty good form on Bent Rows?

I do them like you do in the video, and other than his head bobbing around it doesn't look like there's too much difference.

But then again,wht do I know?

nothing wrong with those cept his big ass is struggling with 225. lolololololol hahahahahahaha

i may do those things 1 time every 4 or 5 months. i did them that day just to show proper form.

i like the guy in the red shirt in the back ground doing pull downs. hes struggling with half the stack and is using luvly form to boot. these guys kill me. lololololol0ololol i mean someone prolly showed him how to do that. we got um at ouir gym too. after they get up they walk around all bowed up too. its incredible. i laugh my ass off all the time. heheheehehehhehehehehehe olololoolololol rotflmfao.

Yah I got a kick out of the guy in the red shirt too LMAO. When I was in college i was in the gym and saw some guys doing the same thing. Even then, when I didnt know what "olympic plates" were lol, I still knew that couldn't be right. Funny too, your probably right, someone probably showed him that.

And i know, it's surprising the dude is struggling with 225 on rows compared to his big 3 lifts...

you can tell that guy is a powerlifter. hopefully he was just warming up or had an injury or sumpin. or maybe he was already spent fromn some other stuff. who is that guy?

you can look at his front delts and tell he's got a big bench.
