        that only applies to lower back which is the usual limiting factor in most row variations

          If you're trying to train your back it's a good thing that your back is the limiting factor.

        Not too far from the truth. I did heavy rows this week (100kg) which I can usually do for 12 reps but something felt off that day but I pulled through anyway. Fricking injured myself on my first heavy set. I think back exercises are the most prone to injury because of how you brace your entire body plus they're usually heavy.

          yeah stabilization muscles are fricking vital for heavy back lifts and that can only be built with progressive overload.

          ive done some stupid deadlifts before that im really glad didnt go wrong. i also popped something in my front deltoid doing pushups of all things and for months and months afterwards i felt hardcore pain in it doing bent over barbell rows, just goes to show theres all sorts of muscle recruitment going on during heavy lifts

      why worry about it? even right wing extremists who want eugenics and genocide to be the norm are starting to go out of their way to prevent darwinism from taking place. even if it's not "oh the poor normie moron lifter we should send him money!" it's still you allocating mental effort to it. let this subhuman mongrel moron ruin himself in the gym for vanity and ego, focus on bettering yourself.

          Switch to standing 2 points db rows, having your knee resting on the bench puts some strain in your groin area. You'll look like you're taking HWD but hey, beats being that moron with an inguinal hernia

    the only thing i dislike about rows is that it's impossible to have a standardized rep, unless you do strict pendlay or seal rows
    otherwise they're great

    Cable row or chest supported row variants like seal rows, unless you aren't Deadlifting then do bent over rows or Yates rows.

    if overall back gains: kroc because of sheer overload
    if lats: probably parrillo but they're hard to do with correct technique and the lever row machine might be unsuited for your proprtions
    if traps: pendlay if you do them right which means starting the movement by flexing upper back and then arching/contracting upper back while lower back doesn't move

    Rotate dumbbell, single arm barbell, supported chest rows etc every 4 weeks or so.
    You can do normal barbell rows in your pic after deadlifts/rack pulls.

    I'm going out on a limb here and say: "Depends on the person". Figure out how your muscle strands are aligned and do the exercise that gets you the highest ROM.

    I love picrel, because it gives me the biggest degree of freedom of wrist rotation. Others hate it. I'm not a fan of cable rows.

      Are chest supported rows where you put your knees on the bench bad for gains? It doesn’t feel comfortable for me when I stretch my legs out on the floor. Pic related is what I’m talmbout.

      it doesn't matter

      Chest supported rows, pull-ups, chin-ups, deadlifts, good mornings, DB Yates row is a favorite of mine.
      I'm not a big fan of using my lower back in rows simply because heavy squats, deadlifts and good mornings already tax it adequately.

      heavy cheaty rows are cool if you have a dedicated back day and start with them. not that it matters in any way.

      I do this and they're the fricking best IMO. haven't tried with knees on the bench.
      I don't have a cable and this is probably the best you can do with only free weights.
      downside is you need access to heavier dumbbells

    Everyone on the Internet told me that overhand Barbell rows are the best, but I barely feel my lats when I do them. I really feel my lats when I do Underhand Grip rows though. Same thing with lat pulldowns.

    I like to do single arm machine rows, single arm pull downs, single arm cable rows (high to low), it takes longer but i find its more forgiving on the spine because you are not pinching your vertebrae between your shoulder blades. With single arm your spine has room to move throughout the motion

      Just do Helms rows or chest supported rows, it completely take your erectors out of the equation unless your gym has a seal row bench. If they do do seal rows instead.

    Personally machines are the best for backwork any and all chest supported machines are great. I prefer close grips on the lat pull down and prefer the widest grip I can on the horizontal cable pull. For back machine exercises I prefer to do rest pause so 1st set xF, pause for 20 seconds tops, 2nd set xF, pause 20 seconds, 3rd set to F; if I have a partner we will do assisted and then negative reps on the final set.

    I'd suggest chest supported DB rows, one of my favorites for many years. That, Kroc rows (reminiscing from when Matt was Matt and pre-troonygay days) and 45 degree pulldowns have been solid staples for why I'm wide as frick.

    For these seated cable rows, specifically to target the traps, should I be using a wide lat bar grip to the chest or a narrow grip?
