Do you guys do chest supported rows?

[youngguns]

Wouldn't this be the best back excercise? Your lower back doesn't get any stress and you can only use your back to get it up, waht do you guys think?

I like stressing my lower back.

I only do chest supported rows when my lower back is injured.

If you're bored with bent over barbell rows it wouldn't hurt to do them. Make sure you're deadlifting or doing GM's, ect... strong posterior chain is the base of all strength.

yes, if you're not injured then rotate between them and something that requires more core involvement (one arm rows balancing on a BOSU for example)

I'd do them on upper body days the day before I had a deadlift/GM workout the next day.. oh the memories

 

[blut wump]

I can't be bothered messing around so just do Pendlay rows instead. My belly is large enough to support my chest by resting on my thighs.

Is he asking if he should wear a bra when doing BB rows? Never heard of such nonsense.
