That was the perfect explanation of how and why you might want to consider using momentum in your training. I 100% agree and it applies to other movements as well. Whenever I've tried using super strict in my form my results were always worse and I wasn't able to progress very easily. There's a difference between sloppy form and using momentum to facilitate overload.

[@aphleesegurtra2820]

The power component is often overlooked, When(IF) that weight becomes weightless, one must maintain control, this makes those involuntary contractions, that are often associated with unilateral work. Hope that analogy made sense for ya.

[@innocentpixels]

[@alexmichellelottie]

My favourite exercise because it's the easiest to tell when form breaks down and offers so many variations so easily. If I need to cheat the last rep or two for me that is hitting the sweet spot. And I often do 2 rep ranges and angles in the same work out and really feel my whole back light up. Heavy strict to start and then volume at 45 degrees. I find that I end up cheating with quite an element of shrugging which saves loading the bar for really heavy shrugs.

[@AshInTrees]

I need this, thanks.

[@HDAnalytics]

You could do a video in size vs strength and where training can intersect between the two. Just a suggestion. I love the deadlift guide and all your series.

[@AlexanderBromley]

That's a great idea! Always looking for more topics to cover. My main philosophy is that they are connected more than most people give them credit for and people shoot themselves in the foot by over-specializing in one over the other too early. The point you are able to gain one without the other is at a point of specialization that takes a long time to get to, which is WAY far away from where most recreational lifters are. Even at the extremes, lifters who continue to get stronger will still tend to get bigger over time and bodybuilders who continue to grow will still see increases in strength.

Great video and you raise a lot of good points about the purpose of the upper back muscles in supporting other movements.

Hit them with the pure uncut pendlays until they can move some weight in my opinion

[@masonnowak5660]

Beginners grow from just about anything, but I'd probably want them to develop the body awareness to be able to distinguish between when a row stopped being strict rather than just have no clue once they actually need to be able to know.

@@masonnowak5660 I agree. In case it wasn't clear, I was suggesting that I think beginners should learn strict form to begin with then progress to "cheat" movements if and when they become useful. What's that old saying? "You need to learn the rules before you can break them" or some shit :P

[@904strengthclub]

Rows on a Smith machine are actually a great variation when you want to stay super strict on form and really just squeeze. If you did a super heavy day with body english, it's a good switch to throw to still get volume in with a lighter weight. Love the content.

We do Yates rows for 3 x 20 rep. When we can do three sets of 30, we add weight. I am afraid of sloppy rows, but with these my back feels huge by comparison.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

I've been doing high-rep bent-over rows for a long time now and I don't doubt that they've added a lot of mass, but it's such a weird exercise to do and I don't know if I'm using way too much body english or what, or if I'd have to do way more sets to get the same effect if I didn't push as hard. I don't see myself when I do the rows, so it just feels like going full monke mode. It's a very taxing exercise, but I think it's worth it. The thing is that I do pretty heavy weight, and it feels very heavy for me, but I can do a lot of reps. I'll do around 80 kg for 20+ reps, but I don't think the calculated 1RM is at all right. I also keep my legs much straighter than Alex does. I've had to learn how to stand to avoid lower back pain over time, and it's largely based on Eddie Hall's deadlift lecture video on YT.

Nothing wrong with BB rows, but I like bi-lateral DB rows. You can get into the most comfortable position and row on any path without the bar clanging off your knees. More versatile. You can go neutral grip, tight to the torso, or over-hand, elbows flared.

[@cantankerouspatriarch4981]

But then you can only load as heavy as the dbs available (usually not much).

What do you think about t bar rows? Cheers for the content matey

[@AlexanderBromley]

I've never used them consistently, so I don't have a strong opinion. If I'm just evaluating them based on what I see, it seems that you have to stay way more upright just to balance and that the plates really restrict range of motion. I'm sure they are useful and you will certainly get stronger if you work them, but I think there are better options for a primary back builder.

[@freedomring4813]

Been working out for many years and a T bar row without the T bar is way better than a wide grip bent over row . Use smaller heavier plates so you get a fuller range of motion.

[@smeaglerG]

hey man, how to program to get better amrap, I know people say 5/3/1 but I wanted to press 3x a week (ohp) 1 time a week is no good

[@AlexanderBromley]

More is not necessarily better. There's a way to program for once per week, a way to program for 6 times per week; those and everything in between requires their own set of rules. Stagnation happens with any approach, so just keep in mind that if you aren't progressing, it doesn't necessarily mean you should jump to something wildly different, but make small tweaks until you do. For high frequency, the limiting factor is not your muscles or nervous system; it's your joints. If we all had titanium bones, the best way to train would be daily with great effort. But it's not sustainable on your joints. If I was programming for 3 times per week, it means accessory is going to be very low or non-existent and most of the efforts wont be balls out. One day of something moderately taxing for 5 or so sets, another day of the exact same sets and reps 10-20% lighter, and one day of 1-3 sets at something kinda heavy but light enough to allow some increase. Look at how the Texas Method programs for bench and squat, very similar.

[@JGD185]

I want to like bent over rows but I have really long arms and the bar path is just so awkward for me. My arms tire out way before my back does. Any advice?

[@craigwheeler4760]

Do Penary rows with wide grip. Focus on hitting the chest while maintaining torso position. That will be like a reverse bench press, with your hands close to the collars on the bar. For lower back do straight leg deadlifts, good morning as well. Middle back for you, do not be trying to do rows with your long arms. Seated row with cable on a machine as heavy as you can stand, then try t-bar row on free weights loaded machine. Middle back development will come from one arm rowing, and the loaded t-bar. I am a Texas powerlifting judge with 24 meets experience. I lifted in the United States powerlifting association as well in college. I was having trouble getting my deadlift up, until I recognized these lifts and the alternatives.

[@Soccasteve]

Like he explained in the video there's something to performing movements where you're standing on your feet as opposed to being supported in some way. I think cable rows are fun but I can't say I've actually gotten any results from them, the same with the pull down. Pull down feels great when I do it but I have much better results with Pull-ups/chin-ups. Dumbbell rows are great but they take up more time and energy being a unilateral movement.

[@JSauble0161]

Do you actually even feel the muscle? Most people pile on the weight and just use thier whole body. If you are squatting and pulling heavy u need to be careful about blowing that low back out and bent rows will do that so unless u do ur rows on ur squat pull day u ain’t going crazy heavy do I do bent rows sure but I wave them with t row Dumbel row and I don’t do them on the week I pull heavy it’s a good exercise but lol there’s a lot of ways to skin a cat and nobody cares what u barbell row

[@JSauble0161]

I agree with mr bromley it's a great exercise. Dorian Yates made me believe that. I'm just saying be careful how u put them in your training. They can overtrain your lower back. Mr bromley also stated this Good Video

[@AlexanderBromley]

Anyone worried about overtaxing their erectors likely has a lower body that is SEVERELY underdeveloped or no concept of how to brace. I can easily imagine upper-body-only guys having issues; I've witnessed idiots who deadlifts less than 500 but try to recklessly clip off high, jerky reps with 365. That's not the exercise, that's bad decision making. A well rounded strength athlete will likely be using 40-50% of their max deadlift. On the list of very taxing/dangerous things that powerlifters, strongmen, olympic lifters, and pro bodybuilders do to build themselves, strict bent rows are so far down the list it's almost not worth talking about.

[@JSauble0161]

[@mossoconnor4417]

Alex Williams I think you should listen to some more Red Hot Chilli Pepper, maybe some Primus, and for sure some Rage Against The Machine before you squat, move your whole body and let the funk out. Nah but seriously maybe just try giving them a foam roll and breaking them up a bit. Some slight discomfort can just be fatigue too, you could try a deload. You could also try warming up more especially if it’s cold where you train, maybe try some knee sleeves. Stretching your hip flexors never hurts, do some body weight Bulgarian split squats as a warmup, maybe sit back more or squat wider. There’s probably nothing wrong and you just need to get used to the movement. With just a slight funk its impossible to really give any advice other than to experiment yourself and don’t do anything extreme if it gets worse

[@dennisnordlund902]

Alex Williams Low bar didn’t work at all for me and i was under the impression that low bar was the only way to become really strong, but they just didn’t work. So by chance i tried some oly lifting movements and was told to high bar squat with those movements and that really unlocked my squatting!

cailer woolam uses Bent over barbell row to increase strenght is this legit? like his lifting 500lbs in the row and he said it help him to gain more strength for deadlifts .

[@AlexanderBromley]

The style that he does it is very explosive; it's tweaked to be more like a deadlift accessory than a simple upper back builder. It is productive, but I strongly urge less developed lifters to have most of their work strict and to incorporate that style further down the road. Also, make sure your deadlift is technically sound; trying to row like Woolam could be a bad time if you aren't very good at bracing and hinging under a load.

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

I would recommend doing the rows while lying on a bench or some related support. Doing rows standing up puts enormous pressure on the lumbar spine. When a person is super-young and ignorant, they may mistake disc pains for muscle tension and keep on going but doing the row supported will allow you to concentrate on the muscles used instead of fighting gravity with your entire body like you do standing. I know a person who destroyed his back for life doing a long set of these rows. I have not looked back since. You can compensate by standing nearly upright (Yates row or whatever) but then you're just basically doing shrugs with zero lats.

I no longer use a straight bar for BENT OVER ROWS or any type of back movement. a neutral grip with a V-handle feels just right for T-bar rows - cable rows and pull downs. i much prefer a trap bar for deadlifts and BENT OVER ROWS - a neutral grip again. you're like RIPPETOE, you're stuck in the narrow world of STRAIGHT BARS. same with squats, I no longer use a straight bar - I only and always use a SAFETY SQUAT BAR.

Don't the biceps get big from the row?

You don’t look like someone people aspire to look like. You should’ve stayed at Westside Barbell. You Could’ve actually learned something from Louie.

​@AlexanderBromley very delayed post since just seeing this video now off a KZbin recommendation while trying to perfect the form for this movement. Thank you for the excellent video and being a similar build and body type(I think I maybe got a bit shorter arms) it's awesome to see. Inspiring and motivating as well. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Pendlay Rows are the best because it gives your lower back a reset after each rep.

[@chimay3]

Pendley rows also allows more controlled body english, and some "magic". Sometimes I do 5x(5-8) like this: 1, set 70% weight, 100% strict. 2. set 80% weight, kind of sloppy. 3. set 90% weight, body english. 4. set 100% weight, a lot more body english. 5. set 80% weight, magically 100% strict 😎
