I can feel my lats burning all the time. Somehow you are doing them wrong, maybe your back is not straight or you lean backwards to cheat
My forearms also go fire with it
That's because you don't know how to activate your lats. Try to squeeze your elbows together behind your back as you pull backwards. That's the key for literally every rowing machine
If your back is straight the whole time you're doing it wrong and missing the best part of the exercise, the STRETCH.
Stop being a pussy, your back isn't going to snap if you let your upper back round. Everyone with tiny backs does those half reps with a straight back only moving their arms.
This, I imagine im an olympic rower trying to get absolute maximum rom when I do cable rows and started feeling it in parts of my back I didnt even know I had. Embrace the stretch and squeeze pill
Take a straight bar, overhand grip. Lean all the way forward to begin and then as you pull back Lean back about 20 degrees or so at the end. You have to squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end.
I have attempted to use this machine in a variety of positions for years and gotten a bicep workout every time. I just do pullups and the backwards chest fly thing to actually hit my back.
I find using the widest of whatever handle that's called is the best for me and just try squeeze the frick out of my back. It helps if you have a friend stick their fingers in the middle and you try squeeze them with your back
If you use a lot of weight you'll end up using your forearms/biceps, core and some momentum to move the weight around. Drop the weight and control the cable untill you feel the squeeze in your back.
Just do dumbbell rows. Let your shoulder and torso twist to the floor to get a full extension, explode upward pulling toward your hip, then slowly lower it back down. 5x15 reps
>Let your shoulder and torso twist to the floor to get a full extension, explode upward pulling toward your hip, then slowly lower it back down
holy shit actual good advice on IST. this is how you row, not this slow and controlled concentric. it turns rows into kickback of back training. also stretch. rows have fricked up resistance curve so you need to use momentum to load stretched part.
A great tip to feel your lats better is the imagine your hands are hooks and connect to your elbows via chains. Essentially pull back your elbows and don't think about pulling with your hands. Also use a thumbless overhand grip
This and deadlift
Never deadlift because you have to lift your ass up to all other people to see like a horny homosexual as if you are saying "oh... Papitooo.. *blink eye* donde estas lá biblioteca?"
What is with all the fat homosexual with shitty moronic takes lately? Almost as if there is some fatty demoralization campaigns going on. Jusy today I have seen more threads claiming standard lifts 'dont do anything' than ever before. That's your opinion, a biologically impossible opinion.
This is just a warm up do 3 to 4 sets followed by dumbbell or barbell back row and then single lat pull down, to finish do shrugs all as heavy as u can stretching as long as possible to trigger muscle stimulation i'm still sore from my last back workout friday
They definitely work.... now the question is do you use the foot placements closer to you or the ones farther away and sit closer... all the dyels use the one closer but I don't see the point.
No! Progressive overload cannot possibly work! Surely the problem is just that OP needs to squeeze a bit harder and modify his form by 1.5mm while visualizing wieners in his mouth

I get a bicep pump....
I'm giving them up for band chin ups.

I feel if a machine allowed me to use my elbows I could activate my lats but for whatever reason no Anytime fitness have these machines.
you back is weaker than your arms
lower the weight (by 50%)
pause squeeze at the top of the movement
it helps

this, plus keep your elbow bent and fixed for as long as possible. Bending your arms takes the tension off the back and into the biceps.
do them chest supported then, that's what I do. Just make sure u train your lower back with some other exercise

It does, i feel my forearms working when i do that
The low row machine mogs the cable row
I like to do both on pull days
> prevents you from breathing
Yeah, great exercise

I do it sometimes and feel it perfectly working the back and others it does seem to touch them it's so annoying.
My grip gives out before my lats feel burn. My forearms are pumped on pull day.
Any tips for improving forearm/Grip strength?
Same, just do it until your forearms are strong enough, i guess
Don't go all the way to the fully extended position during the negative.
Just do dumbbell rows. Let your shoulder and torso twist to the floor to get a full extension, explode upward pulling toward your hip, then slowly lower it back down. 5x15 reps

equivalent exchange
Is very gay indeed

MY LANGUAGE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!!?
>"oh... Papitooo.. *blink eye* donde estas lá biblioteca?"
Lmao
I do this if i wanna work on thickness because it stimulates lower traps the most combine it with single arm pull down for optimal back workout

It's a hug machine and girls will love you for it.
its what I do when I don't feel like doing pendlay rows
just do barbell rows senpai.

this is my favorite lift of all time. you are moronic and doing it wrong
Learn forward as far as possible, and remember to stop before your elbows go behind your body (which also means you should be doing lots of weight)
I find it harder to cheat when I set it higher and pull down more.
