Stupid dyel take. Optimal matters so you don't waste your time. I've tried different lifts and still am trying to find the most optimal for certain muscles
Right one is gay and moronic, just hip hinge and stagger slightly while supporting yourself with the other arm on the bench. Feels much more natural, taxes your supporting structures more evenly and you can choose between strict and maximal cheating or a combination at your leisure.
Left one has value as a lower fatigue variant.
I do these and t-bar rows (I don’t even know if there is that much of a difference between them). Tried dumbbell rows but frick that takes too long alternating hands.

I do left but with a barbell (my bench is set to a incline in different way so the bar can be lifted up to a distance maybe two inches from my chest). Am I moronic?
Neither. Ditch the pink dumbbells and bench. Grab some big boy db's, lean on something bending over a little and start rowing. Do heavy 4x4-8 and last 1x20 all balls out set with lighter db using straps.
Back when I used to lift regularly and heavy, I exclusively did right. Only because I played flanker in rugby and going that it worked out all those muscles I needed when we pushed to really win the scrum.
I'm only 29 on top of it. Youngest boomer iit. Just dropping some training hints here and there for the youngins'. I used to deadlift 585 lbs you know.
To this day I still haven't found a 1 arm dumbbell row technique that actually feels comfortable, and I've tried every position you can think of. Even bent over rows feel better.
Also chest supported exercises are for guys with tiny balls. There's no other explanation how guys can get into the position in OP's picture.

You might have short dick brother HH
Something on the left side of my mid back gets absolutely tweaked to frick off the one of the right but not the one on the left so Imma go with chest supported
you could also try a tripod stance instead where you just keep both feet flat on the floor, lean forward, and with your non weight holding hand use the height of an incline bench for support. you'll be able to get a longer stretch with your weighted hand that way. I was grateful to learn this tip so just passing it on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfUg6qWohTk
i would rather nail my dick to a table than do the one on the left
Back exercises leave me the most confused on what's the most optimal. I think I'll try the right again.
Just pull some fricking weight. Who care about “optimal” bs

Left one works more muscles and you can't really cheat. More Rhomboids than Lats from what I've heard.
Right one allows you to cheat and pull more weight. So technically you need more muscles to move that weight.
Both are top tier imo. Why not alternate between the sessions.

I've been a right-doer for a long time since fricking up my back doing barbell bent over rows incorrectly
Neither. Use a row horizontal row machine.
*blocks and mogs your path*
BRRRAAAAAAPPPPPFFFTTTTT
I alternate all of these. Am I gonna be okay?

Try these underhand. I feel it directly in my back like no other

Chest supported row machine.
/thread
non chest support row machine is better if the grip is wider, not the typical t bar row shitty close grip
not because of muscle activation but you get a free legs workout with it
1h db rows are pretty good to super set between bench sets. other two need more dedicated focus so I'd rather not do those.
Pendlay rows
Based. Out of the two OP posted, A is much better than B which will give you a hernia
Neither. Ditch the pink dumbbells and bench. Grab some big boy db's, lean on something bending over a little and start rowing. Do heavy 4x4-8 and last 1x20 all balls out set with lighter db using straps.
>do Kroc Rows
>become a troony
I do pendlay rows and chest supported t-bar rows
Frick you
This hits my rear delts/traps nicely but I fail to get good lat pump?
Definitely more of an upper back machine, I always do low rows then lat pulldowns.
lean forward instead of leaning back when you pull.
it is good until the cable snaps. I was knocked unconscious when rowing 85kg.
Holy shit, I'm dying from laughter! Sry anon wasn't expecting that
I was serious. I was wearing a beanie or I might have died that day.
here is another guy that got the same accident.
Frick, I cant breathe
If you hit yourself in the head then your form is terrible lmao
>knocked unconscious
How? Surely the bar would hit your chest or was it the fall backwards?
I do it upright with a cable and use the spare hand to brace myself against the cage.
this but hammer/neutral grip
That hits your delts moron
The back activation is off the charts.

Nice blog post boomer

>for me it's head supported db rows
I unironically love these but only do them at home
These seems like someone could take adventage of me
>t.
The right one is more fun so I do that

troony back to your Instagram
NTA but you're a genuine brainlet though
