Hello Coach - I noticed that you and Kevin W. generally perform the movements rather dynamically (i.e. pumping like pistons rather then artificially slowing down trying to avoid momentum at all costs) - this is a different approach than that presented by e.g. Victor Costa (aka Vicsnatural) here on youtube. Which kinds of movements generally lend themselves better to dynamic execution and for which is slower execution generally better? Happy New Year from Warsaw:)
@biglabrador do not mistakes using the bodies natural leverage to be sloppy or out of control. The decent still must be controlled and the leverage that is being used applies more stress to the muscle not less. This is a skill that is developed over time as most trainees use leverage to make the exercise easier not harder. Nearly every exercise should be dynamic or explosive in the concentric phase and controlled in the eccentric. Controlled does not necessarily mean slow though.
@scottabelcoaching Thank you very much for your reply. The take-home-lesson is that the slow, deliberate tempo of movements (like the HITers or eg. Victor Costa preach) is a No No and rather a dynamic tempo (however still under control) should be applied to most movements - do I understand it right? Thanks in advance
@biglabrador Well I never like to speak in sweeping generalities so let;s say it's 'more or less' right. Some movements, like this one should never be done slowly. Others exercises are more open to a variety of rep cadences but never super slow or deliberately slow.
I like using a Trap Bar to do rows.. The effect is the same or better than T-Bar rows.

@charlrogers1990 Well you can for sure. There are more or less two versions, a more upright version, and htis version you see here

Been really loving this exercise especially with the easy bar since it hits my upper back really well.

how is that ez bar staying on that bar? it has a attachment piece in the middle won't it slide around?

@bigtonutz Not if you control it. Not an issue

I use the orthodox grip as well, my favorite by far!
