Ya. Bent over rows will only develop your traps more which they r big by the way. U can do the rows lat pulldowns a must. Make sure you do them two ways. Pulldowns infront of u and pulldown with the bar behind your head. Works great

And as far as ur knee if u can walk on it thats good. Hyper ext felling is possibly a meniscus problem or you just sprained the shit out of it.

I disagree with you...yes if you were standing in more of an erect position, which comes from improper form, then yes traps are incorporated more...but if you kept your back more parallel to the floor and pulled with your lats and not let the weight control you...they are a great exercise for back development. Key is always mastering form before you increase weight...and don't let the whole lighter weight thing control you...I would rather use lighter weight with dialed form than heavy weight and sloppy form.

^^^^ Agreed


777, Try these Muscle Building- Pendlay Row Form - YouTube

Thats the only bent over row I do. More focus, more isolation IMHO than any other BB row.


If the swelling is subsiding a bit and your getting a hyperextended feeling then as mentioned above its certainly possible you just sprained the shit out of it. That would be a best case to hope for. You should still see a sports ortho even if you dont get an MRI. They should be able to give you a fairly accurate diagnosis just going hands on. Regular docs wont have a clue.

I agree but lat pull downs are essential too tho wouldnt u say to get the pull and pressure all the way down your lats to get that wing line that goes almost to your waist when developed?

Close grip pull downs work a bit better for the wings...and superset them with DB Pullovers for some nice wing development...but you are right, lat pull downs have their place in back development and all their variations.
