Subbing Bent Over Rows (help)

[Extra_Strong]

lol, ok ok i get it. I would not have moved from the lift without checking first that it would be less beneficial, that why i asked

Thanks for all the advice and as side note i did them tonight (bent over rows) and they felt fine a little movement in the last rep but it was a PR. I am gonne deload 7% or something round that next week.

Again thanks for all the comments

Good to hear that you're gonna stick em out! Just keep yourself motivated and push yourself as hard as you can! Don't worry about having to de-load! As long as your other core movements continue improving then when you get back to the weight your struggling with, you will blow past it! Train hard!

Maybe move them to front of workout if they aren't there already?

you can also do this take 2 dumb bells and go over to a incline bench and lie on it on your stomach and pull the dumb bells up to your waist . it like doing rows but the bench supports you .its diffrent from bb rows ,but you will lose the core angle of the movment .

Wouldn't do this either.....supporting the core is less efective than the barbell row.....if anything switch to ol school YMCA corner tbar rows or dbell rows for a week....or even alternate....I alternate barbell rows with deads....

I'm filing a support ticket reporting that someone has hacked into jkurz's account and is using it to give good advice.

humm? this sounds more like a trap exercise.

I like to be as close to parellel to the floor as possible when doing rows..

works fine for me ,and deads/t bar rows can give you a bad back thats why most gyms dont have t bar rows any more its a lower back scrambler.,i cant do them and theres nothing wrong with doing a back movment that supports your body to focuse and that mucle group .if worried about his core he could just do extra core movments that are safer any way

This is a bit of a chicken and egg situation. Deads and unsupported rowing can give you a bad back from having strengthened your back without having kept your core on a par. What happens then is that a trainee uses more weight than parts of the chain can tolerate and the weak link gets damaged.

If one incorporates free movements to keep the posterior chain worked throughout its length rather than spending time on isolation exercises from one's early training days, or is prepared to take the time to bring the core up to par, then deads and unsupported rowing will continue to be strengthening exercises that are completely safe when done with reasonable form.
