so do you go as heavy as you can on both? i try to work on form and concentrate on the muscle more with dumbell movements
yo mass...of those movements you listed which one do you prefer the most? for me in order would be: db rack,knee on bench,then that other one you listed that i never do
agreed you do get a good stretch doing these...do you guys where straps when doing these style of movements? I find they help me out a lot b/c when i go heavy the skin on my hands starts coming off and the gym i go to just got a bunch of new DBs and straight bars so the grips on them are extra rough
damn right they are, i've been using this guys technique of trying increase the reps with a heavy weight, i always do them as my first heavy rowing movement followed by bb rows.
thats some serious grip strength there
I always wear straps and gloves when training back, helps alot! I start my back wo with deadlifts or this exercise leaning against the db rack.usually 3 sets going up in weight, reps around 8-141. 1302. 1453. 160then on to a wide grip exercise like pulldowns or chins
pretty strong there..i just do 4 sets using 120'si use straps too..i got these cool ones with the extra thick padding...
I really should be doing more of these - my back thickness is atrocious and I've found that on the rare occasion I do dumbell rows I get an unreal pump in my back. I think I avoid them because I do the old "hand on bench" thingy and it is so fucking uncomfortable that I simply hate doing the exercise and tend to do barbell rows instead. I should be forcing myself to do that shit because I'm convinced they work.
the weird thing about db rows is that they're so tiring, probably because you're doing a set for each arm but for some reason db rows have always made me breathe harder than anything except squats.
