Gay

[aherrera156]

Come on josh

[shazkhaliq]

Dude you should hold at the top for a sec. Control the weight not throw it about.

[TheStoneman1983]

does it lead to any back problems???

[churde]

this is bent over row form #9001 , i dont know what the f is going on anymore @__@

[SGTcrackey666]

Excellent form ;)

[rlapp17]

why is this video on here?

[slasher9105]

My problem with this is that he is clearly pulling from the wrists and not the elbows.

[pendejadafcc]

that shit does NOT look good son..

[mad1966dog]

good form.

[daleyy1234]

ur a prick im jealous of your form my form sucks on this exercise

[BoxFreshNikes]

Fail.

[TheJordandelphonic]

fags, stop bitching and spend more time pumping iron, less time winging about it

[TheJordandelphonic]

in my country, if you don't wear a shirt to the gym, you get kicked out. Its not supposed to be about showing off, its about getting stronger. Personally though, I don't really care if people wear shirts or not.

[dman519]

i think your form is great. dunno what these other people are talking about.

[MetaIhead89]

how wide should the grip be?

[aschindler22]

i always feel this in my right lower back it does everything sept my left lower bqack...lol...seems that waay for any back workout..wtf is up with that

[vleota]

Try pulling to your stomach not chest. Thats the proper way of doing Rows. Morons!

[TheNyghtShyft]

looks dangerous....dumbell rows on a bench is more stable and easier on lower back

[metalhausakula]

@TheNyghtShyft omg you must be a fag or a retard if you prefer dembell rows on a bench instead of bent over barbell rows

[TheNyghtShyft]

@metalhausakula Just someone with a previous lower back injury trying to avoid re injuring. Also using dumbells helps develope an even sided strength in both arms instead of having one arm bigger than the other. I'm not a body builder just a guy who works out. but I can tell you're a complete piece of shit.

[metalhausakula]

@TheNyghtShyft this exerzise makes your back stronger! no wonder you have a lower back injury couse you dont know shit about lifting weights.

[TheNyghtShyft]

@metalhausakula Getting stronger by the day, and injury free.

[TheNyghtShyft]

@metalhausakula I had a lower back straight from football and I'm not taking any chances, dumbass...

[metalhausakula]

@TheNyghtShyft if you have a fucked up lower back then thats just your problem. dont recommend some gay exerzises for other people.

[TheNyghtShyft]

@metalhausakula Hey Dumbass...I didn't recommend shit for anyone..I simply stated what I prefer for me and why...LOL you need to do some mental cardio.

[metalhausakula]

@TheNyghtShyft you said that this exerzise was dangerous and dumbell rows on a bench would be easier on lower back. - this exerzise is not dangerous if you do it properly and it makes your back stronger. If you dont exerzise the lower back you will end up with an injury.

[TheNyghtShyft]

@metalhausakula I said it "LOOKS" dangerous. My opinion. From my experience one arm dumbell rows are more stable. Also from what I have seen from professional trainers, they will always warn you to be extra careful with this exercise and exercises like it because of the fact that you are bent over, thus exposing the lower back to extra strain. Every trainer I have seen that recommended this exercise has always accompanied it with a warning. Just stop trying to put words in my mouth, ass-hat.

[metalhausakula]

@TheNyghtShyft ass-hat??? siriusly? and that video of you on your channel was the gayest thing i have ever seen. ask any powerlifter, bodybuilder or strongman wich exersize you gain more muscle on. They all agree with me. little bitch go play some football with your gay dumbells. im out.

[TheNyghtShyft]

@metalhausakula I checked your videos. You don't have any. By the way, it's spelled "SERIOUSLY". Also you're supposed to capitalize "I" when referring to yourself. Also, complete sentences started with the first word capitalized.

[TheJordandelphonic]

@TheNyghtShyft what do you want people to say to you? Heil grammer nazi? fuck off mate.

[TheNyghtShyft]

@metalhausakula You have the poorest grammar and spelling I have seen on youtube. Also in the word "im" you're supposed to put an apostrophe between the "i" and the "m" and the "i" should capitalized. So, why should I listen to such an illiterate dumbshit about anything if you don't even have a grasp of the English language? Do you even speak English?

[TheJordandelphonic]

@TheNyghtShyft who cares about apostrophes, really, is it that big of a deal? im not going to capitalize my eye (haha) and forget the apostrophy jost two pess ewe uff.

[lifeisgood070]

Don't do roids. I'm with begjon. I got big just sleeping tons, living heavy (compound excersises too... like the deadlift, front squat, weighted pullups, etc.), & eating healthy. Lots of protein, vegies, a multivitamin, & I just started taking fish oil about 1 month ago.

Just don't spend too much time in the gym. 45mins is usually my target. 3-5 hard exercises. The goal isn't to burn calories. It's to hit the muscles and psych them up, then recover. Too long in the gym hurts you.

[Shrivel101]

I thought you had to bring up the bar to your lower abs when doing barbell rows. he looks like he is working his lats more than middle back in that vid. just saying.

[sniperboy102]

however you want is a way to swtich it up.

[cali2ark05]

lol! @ 1521joe

[begjon]

u aint need no steroids to get big all u need to do is lift heavy,do cadio,and take alot of protein,and sleep.thats all

[kimbooooooooooo]

and u need ur 6 small fist full meals per day with an equal amount of protein and cards to supply ur body through out the day, ur muscles consistantly require carbs and protein, u cant just have 1 big hit of protein at night or after a workout, it dosent work like that, good form on this row!

[DMalenfant1]

@begjon REALLY? So each and every one of us who want to be as big and toned as Arnold should believe you?

Last time I checked, people in high places got there through lying, cheating and screwing a whole bunch of people over.

[kwezeltjuh1]

@begjon and eat like a rhino!! :D

[reppinitBMX]

@begjon Cardio? Where the fuck did you learn that cardio gets you big?

[1521joe]

yep not bad but if your serious about growth do these things,,,

1)take steroids

2)eat everything

3)train hard......very hard

4)sleep good

5)take more steroids...

theres not a single human in this world that will tell you, this combo dont work!

serious muscle heads all revert to this combo,, either at the begining,, or in the end,,,, either way..... it boils down to this combo.....we call it the magic square.

[onceuponthecross]

nice form.now up the weight and do 6 reps

[Svt900]

115lb barbell row?? lol.. thats my warm up set.. weak as hell

[marxistsoldier]

omg shut u loser

[hoegaardenful]

idiot

[Stokes33]

Looks good. One thing I would suggest is keep your elbows a little closer to your rib cage, if you keep your elbows out, it targets your shoulders more.

[bruddaluton]

Keeping the elbows in although yes it does recruit more of the delts, it also targets the upper back as opposed to the mid upper...just depends where u want to focus the stress

[SecretsSanctuary]

Seems as though you are experienced with the bent-over row; I wonder if you could inform me which body positioning/hand placement would target the back (ideally the lats) while placing the very least stress on the biceps.

[PlagueAngel77]

a question: where does the bar touch? chest? naval?

[wildeyed82]

Thanks for the nice video man, by the way I have to agree with others that use more weight than more reps and yeah you are right about biceps role in most back exercises.

[shinshoryuken]

Good form but I don't think 20 reps is really necessary.

[TheJordandelphonic]

@shinshoryuken depends on what his goals are, its more endurance and not really strength training

[djs259]

@shinshoryuken i do 3 sets of 10 using 50 pound barbells for each side about 3 times per week, is that enough?

[shinshoryuken]

@djs259

well it depends on if you find it challenging. If its easy and doesn't do a whole lot for your pump than increase the weight but keep the sets and reps the same number. Try 60 or 70 instead.

[killermiller6666]

form is basically very good.a lot of reps though. like to keep it between 8-6

[mi2much]

Looking good bro, slow down, speed up, experiment with it. Put a lil more weight on, cheat a little, so what. Do what you got to do to get stronger and get a good burn. And most of all don't listen to the negative knuckle heads comments.

[thedupper]

way, way too fast... slow down... no one gives a damn how much weight you move... slowing down makes certain your muscles are doing all the work (that you're not getting a bounce), that you use them more thoroughly, and that you don't put undo strain on joints... slow way down

[twosteppinsose]

None of these look right, elbows should be touching the sides of your ribs as you rep. Your getting a nice rear delt workout though.

[westernguy10]

hahaha come on man. keeping the elbows flush with your sides is a variation of the bent over row that focuses more on the romboids and lower lats, but that doesn't mean he's doing it wrong. in fact, the traditional barbell row is done with the elbows out.

[arashonline]

yeah dude, definitely looks like good form here. and, you're clearly getting a tight squeeze as the BRIGHT red in your back would indicate. looks like a great row, and i can't wait to hit the weights this afternoon and do some myself!

[12021991d]

your so small and weak, chin up mate

[NEWOSA65]

I disagree with the barbell row. However, you do have good form and it makes a change to see someone using a lighter weight and training the back muscles, properly! This exercise will only give good results if the weight is pulled by the lats and not the biceps, though! Good luck.

[browny352002]

Since no matter what you do, the biceps will play a role in most back exercise. You really have to focus on contracting the back muscles, make sure that the back is pulling first and contracting the hardest.

[gitano71]

"better" form than others I have seen.

[vhguy]

Lol...it's always funny when people comment on rep speed.

I wonder what they would say about Westside programs that use dynamic and max effort techniques together. I guess explosive lifting must be incorrect then? LMAO. So much for functional training.

Different rep speeds serve different purposes. To argue otherwise is to be severely misinformed. Period.

Great video by the way.

[jerin23holker]

You're not cheating... good job buddy

[lordOFbrooklyn]

yeah paul is right you're doin em way too fast you're cheating...and if you don't believe me then try doin em slower and see if you can do even half the reps you do now

[browny352002]

I am not cheating here at all, this was my last set of the day. As you can see, I have no movement at the hips, my rhomboids, posterior delt, and traps are doing all the work. The clanking you hear is when the bar hits my chest. When I get my new camera in I will post some more on here with more weight and slower for all the negative people out there.

[MommaYoga]

@browny352002 Should the bar be hitting your chest? That doesn't sound like proper form to me. To be fair, I think the comments above have a good point, they seem too fast to get the full benefit from the exercise. I'm no expert or anything, I'm not trying to be a know it all, I'm just trying to sift through all the advice out there and find the closest thing to "proper" form as I can get and I'm finding a lot of contradicting statements.

[paulmooreparks]

Too fast. The clanking sound at the top of each rep indicates that momentum is being used. A little bit slower movement would eliminate that and would keep more constant tension on the muscles being worked.

[SR910]

good form, one of the best ones iv seen on here.

[anthoon]

nice form
