Bb rows how do you do them

[Dirtnasty]

So today I switched to underhand and lowered the weight some. I feel much more lat activation this way.

I bend over a lot more than most people. I get a lot more activation this way. The way you see most people do bb rows is at like 45 degree angle and they’ve very ballistic instead of controlled. When you see me do them they are basically pendlay style.

I do bent over one arm barbell rows. I would do regular style but I don’t have enough weight at home.

It all depends on what part/parts of your back you want to work… if I want to hit lats more than anything, I do underhand with scapular retraction before the row, if I want to hit my rhomboids and rear delts it’s overhand… if I want to really involve my core stabilizers as well as a little hamstrings, it’s pendalay rows

Ditto all of above…especially underhand

To answer your question I do them both ways

 

[Dirtnasty]

Swing both ways eh haha

Try trap bar rows, or chest supported DB rows. The neutral grip is supposed to have more activation…. Or so they say this month.

Trap bar was great and I do like the that’s but I want that barbell in hand haha

I agree with @JB_rD81 , depends what you are trying to accomplish. Lats or upper back? The angle if the upper arm will be more of a determining factor as far as recruitment goes vs grip. Closer the upper arm stays to the midline the more lat, further away more upper back.

Been crazy, work, family stuff plus new coaching job. I’ll make a post today. All good as of now. Thank you for asking

I mean, if the target is the upper back, why not just do bent over shrugs instead of shitty rows?
