Bent Over Rows

[bigpopfd2]

yates did advocate plams up but when he got his bicep tear, he swithced to palms down.....its safer to do it palms down

Very interesting... and I just assumed everyone did palms down. I'll have to try the palms up position and see if I feel it more in my back, after all it is supposed to be a back exercise. You never know what you'll learn on these boards!

Yates row...palm up!!

I do both, wide too. I prefer overhand grip, but you have to work your weaknesses to and for me that is underhand.

Overhand grip. Just feels better to me, hands slightly wider than shoulder width.

do both - like overhand better. underhand too much bi's and strain on the wrists - although slightly better contraction

Palms Down.

I prefer the Yates way of palms up I feel it more throughout my back.

depends whether i want more teres major and lats or more mid traps in the movement.

Palms up in my opinion gives you the best pump, but definitely you gotta switch it around. -thinkin about back day just puts a smile on my face.
