good stuff.i tried that chest support row..just didnt like it at all..i just stick with my deads bb rows and the last 2 times ive been using this tbar row machine which i do like put again those damn hammer strength's i almost cant fit any more weight on!!..just curious what are pinwheel curls??

Yeh bro the chest support row really sucked I found I was getting out of breath from the contact between my chest and the pad faster than I was failing on the set...Hopefully my new straps come in time so I can do BB rows next time...I've heard good things about the hammer strength rows but never used them myself...gym doesn't have them..

Pinwheel curls are another name for cross-body hammer curls....I have been getting VERY nice results with them....

Mind posting what you do for back?

Yeh me too wasn't able to do BB\hammmer curls for a long time due to a nerve\tendon issue...was really annoying

I wasn't out for 8 weeks though..hope you get all the bi strength back soon!!

Started the modified 5x5 today...had some problems with flat bench affecting my sternum issues ../.. will just do CG instead next time...anyways here is what I did...also started the weights lower for the main movements as recommened by needsize in the 5x5 thread...If I felt a weight was too light I would just go slower
