Row Row Row your boat

Barbell, one end in the corner, other end with plate rows, vs seated rows, is the only difference you can put a lot more weigt in the first mentioned?

 

[SgtSlaughter]

the free standing ones are better for your posterior chain and erector strength.

 

[youngguns]

I was doing both with no weight, and it seemed like they are the exact same thing.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

what do you want?

Proof? ... post pics of lifters and i'll tell u which one's do free standing rows and one's that does not... it's easy to tell from back pics in one's development.

 

[youngguns]

I'm just saying I don't understand the difference, it's the exact same motion.

I totally agree - you don't understand. Seated means cheating IMO.

One anatomical point (and I'm no expert here, I'm basically regurgitating what I've read): lats stabilize the lower back when it's arched, so standing rows, your glutes and erectors are firing to keep you arched and standing up, so your lats should be assisting them. Seated, doesn't seem like you'd need the lats to stabilize teh lower back.

So more overall lat activation while standing maybe?

my back is better than yours. and i'm missing a fucking lat. do man rows. quit trying to use gimmicks.

 

[youngguns]

Well my lats are too big, so maybe I should stick to the seated for awhile?

 

[H_T_]

lol. get the fuck out of this forum.

 

[youngguns]
