BARN DOOR BARK - Needsize? BigHO? Beuhler?

[Texas Ranger]

I dont call it a t bar row becauseI have the t bar row machine at the gym so I have to call one of them a diferant name....but that is beside the point. I could see why you would think that but there a few other things that factor in that make it make sence. One being that I am juiced to the gills. Another being that it has taken me about 3 years to work up to that.Sometimes I dont do all of my routine and or slack on reps but that is the guideline I follow.Most of the time I do it all ,I try to go on how I feel.All my workouts are like this, hi volume hi intensity,That is what works for me.

BIGDHO, when you do the T Bar Rows with the olympic bar & DD handle does the bar stay in place while being in the corner??

My back routine is like this right now.

deads- 4x6-8
T-bar row- 4x6-8
db row- 4x6-8
wide grip lat pulldown- 4x8
seated cable row- 2x8

*No pullups due to my past shoulder injuries*

As for cheating or strict form, I always try to use strict form. It works for me, but I also understand how cheating can work for others.

I put a 100lb weight on the end of the bar and when you pick up the bb kinda pull back at the same time as you are going up and it will stay.

I cheat sometimes to get those last 1 or 2 reps out. Makes a world of difference

Also, what's a DD handle, I'm new to this type of exercise and would like to do it immediately! lol

Heres what I did yesterday, best back workout in a while. Hit 2 PR's on both major lifts too:

From the Exerpt in my journal:

5-11-04 Tuesday Back,Deadlifts and Abs

Today was my best back workout in a long time. I broke 2 PR's on both major deadlifts. The partial beast lift and partial deadlift. I got 575 on the partial deadlift from the rack. It was one of my longest lifts ever, but I made it lockout. Screamed my throat raw today. haha I also pulled 730 off the lowest setting on the rack, with the bar behind the legs, a beast lift. I lifted for over six hours I estimate and hit 39 sets, 33 of them for back alone. I had done about 15 sets of T-bar rows and chins before even starting the deadlifting. So not even fresh. I plan to hit 585 on the partial deads very soon and over 750 on the partial beast lifts as well. Felt very weak today, but I got pissed and drove thru the light headedness. The new "Speed Stack" without ephedrine is garbage, just makes me lightheaded.ThanX for the support! Heres the routine:
