>can't row for shit
I'm going to do rows twice as much as I press now. I'm so annoyed I didn't do this earlier

Yes. I prefer Pendlays personally.
>barbell rows
Oh, no no no...
what's wrong with barbell rows?
I do dumbbells rows and took my a while to figure it out the correct form. But once i did is by far the lift that I feel that activates my back so much. I still hate them tho, uncomfortable piece of shit lift. But it works.
Pull-ups aren't enough but weighted ones are
I rowed for months with little progress but switched to pull-ups with 45 and 70 lbs added and row went up immediately
I did tons of weighted pullups with great form and my traps/upper back are tiny dude
how much do you weigh?
saying pullups are enough for the back is like saying only squats are enough for legs. drop or keep doing pullups but if you want maximum back growth i would suggest u to row (wide grip) and deadlift at least twice a week
Deadlift twice a week
>deadlift
Yeah if you're a powershitter but if you're bodybuilding it's a complete waste of time
No shit. You need a horizontal and a vertical pull, for the same reason you should do both OHP and bench.
ill stick to pullups you fucking fatass
there's just no good way to row heavy and keep form like you can with other compound lifts.
yes there is, it's called being flexible in the hamstrings and respecting the row as a compound movement and not as an accessory
but it is an accessory
Cable row

i do both cause humans are capable of doing more than 1 thing
i also fell for that meme. Godspeed anon
Make sure you dont fall for the "pullups are enough for biceps" meme.
I prefer yates rows.
I do that which is towards the hip, and then I do a high row to the shoulders for the upper back.
Don't forget all types of shrugs. Horizontal kelso shrugs look neat.
This fitness autism is so out of control. Pick up the fucking bar and lift it towards your abdomen using your back muscles. It’s that simple, and anyone who tells you differently does not lift.
>oh no I’ve been using a reverse grip sumo row form when I should’ve been doing the optimized zercher penis grip pendlay row with a weighted vest and band resistance plus 2 deload sets with Willy wonka’s floaty soda drink my gains are forfeit!”
Why do you fucks have to over complicate everything? Is it just that you wanna feel like you’re lifting the “right” way versus the unwashed masses?
Nope it isn't that simple. If I do pendlay style rows I just feel like shit and my biceps/forearms get a pump.
If I do yates rows(higher angle) my lats hurt and I get a good stretch.
If you can't feel the difference then that's on you.
When I used to lift like you proclaim all I got were stronger strong points, and my weakpoints stayed the same.
The only place you're rowing to is the front row in the hospital waiting room
Lots of Calisthenics bros have nice backs from pull/muscle ups and levers
>and levers
doing a lever and pulling up is literally the same motion as a row
moron what? pull ups are vertical pull and row horizontal
i meant pulling up from the lever position
reading comprehension
you are still a gay

They're also 130lbs.
dont listen to the weak shills and rowingmax, only wayto have a massive back if you are natty
rowing yates, rowing seal, rowing bench... good shit
cable row masterrace
Seated rows are better
>Verification not required
>vertical lifts for width
>horizontal lifts for thickness
is this true?
>ohp = wider shoulders
>pullups = wider lats
>bench press = thicker chest
>rows = thicker back
?
I'm more impressed by a good chin-up than weighted belly bumps.
Should I be doing barbell rows or would chest supported rows be better since my gym has a machine for them
>fell for the barbell compounds meme
>can't lift yourself up even once (1)
Yikes. How weak is he?
It's not part of his sport, so why would he train it?
It's embarassing for a grown woman to not be able to multiple pullups. It's even more embarassing for a grown man to not be able to do even a single one. Doubly so for someone who claims to be a strongman
I think he gets a pass. He isn't an average man. He is highly specialised in a sport that doesn't require pullups.
i workout with dumbbells, and dumbbell rows feel so awkward to me. end up skipping them half the time as a result.
