Reverse Grip Barbell Rows- Like Them??? Or Dislike Them???

[Texas Ranger]

Do you notice a difference between Reverse Grip Rows/Yates Row and regular Barbell Rows for Lat development???

Personally i dont like the underhand grip..not sure if it makes that much of a difference in your lats development..the one thing i do though is play around with my grip each week (wider, medium- narrow)..

I love the underhand, but I do switch every other week or so..

I do both. Not in any particular order. Sometimes I use underhand and sometimes overhand. Either grip you use is a win win situation.

Pump on .....

I feel the underhand grip more in my lats than the overhand....but the disadvantage is the biceps\forearms tire out faster

Hehe...I think height and arm length might have to do with this....most of the guys I have talked to over 6 feet really don't like the underhand grip....

Some people I've talked to even prefer the BB rows on the smith machine

im about 5'11..never tried them on a smith..In fact i have never ever tried a single exercise on a smith lol..my arms are bout avg length i think!!i notice when i stay tight and let the bar go a little below the knee i really feel it in the lower lats. also squeezing hte shoulder blades together helps tremendously...

I really like bb rows, but I have never liked doing them with an underhand grip.

I'm 6'4" with average length arms for my height. I was messing around in my friend's garage with a weighted barbell over the weekend. While we were talking, I started doing some Barbell Rows with a regular grip and a reverse grip. I hardly ever do these because I like One Arm Rows better. At least, so I thought. I felt the reverse grip ALOT more in the belly of my Lats. I was REALLY suprised because I was the first guy to shoot down the reverse grip Barbell Row when Dorian Yates made it popular again a few years ago.
