I have always found this type of T-Bar row to be akward. I always preferred the feel of the Olympic bar wedged in a corner for t-bar rows
-
I prefer the same. I find because I'm tall, the platforms are never bug enough, once I get more weight on the thing pulls me forwards.
-
Simone looking erm... dense there.

Never saw the point. Bb rows do a much better job and fully exhaust the lats, what else you need?

thats a shrug not a row

I used to workout at this gym in New York called Synergy and they had one of those that could only accomodate 35lb plates. If you used 45lb, they'd smash you in face. It was weird because it's a real bodybuilding gym. Pros train there.
I just prefer bent over barbell rows to tbar rows, machine or otherwise. It's funny that OP says he prefers using the barbell setup because whenever I see that I'm always like "Why does this jackass have to call attention to himself and hog one of the precious bars? Just use the goddamn tbar machine!" I get that different setups just feel better, though.
-
never done t bar row...seated cablerow with t bar i like. Full stretch full contration. bar to the lower chest. Great for upper back ass hamstring and overall bodywork
-
Don't like any row that forces the bar path rather than being able to pull in the pathway that suits you
-
Ahhh the days i could actually do bent ober movements,those were good days.But yeah i didnt like those they were awkward,wasnt a big fan of any type of t bar row,i stuck with barlbell and db rows.

I actually like it cause I'm tall and the handle sits above the bar so I feel a much better range of motion than the ol bar in a corner.

I've only ever tried 2, and both gave the same issue. I have used one of the chest pad ones, that I did love.
-
u queers probably put too much weight on a T-bar. 95% of the people that use that machine do shrugs on it cause their body compensates. U need to have a really strong core to properly perform the row.

Chest Supported one in my gym smashes my schlong so I have to put my feet on the floor, end up using too much body English. So what I've done is turn around an adjustable incline bench and lay on it chest down and do barbell rows that way.

and a strong lower back too lol. if you have those you wont need a belt till you get to really heavy weights

I don't ever use a belt.
If the weight gets to heavy... I just lighten it up. But I never wear a belt.

I cobbled this thing together with a flat bench and two mismatched plyo boxes.

The perfect height for me for chest supported barbell rows.

That's dangerously perfect.
-
Yes,Lying BB Rows rule,especially for those with lower back issues.
-
There's no optimum contraction because of the plates.

It's surprisingly solid. Sometimes, I like to do with FatGripz™ on the bar for added brute arm strength.

I prefer barbell or dumbbell rows to the T-Bar variety. We have one at the gym but I have only used it a few times. It just doesn't feel right so I do my rows in the Smith Machine whenever I can. It doesn't hurt and that's important to me.
Years ago I did them at home with a 2 inch bar. Tried to move to a 3 inch but no way. Gave up thick bar training as my joints can no longer take it.

Legend Fitness makes a nice prone row bench
-
I like using a landmine to hold the bar
-
Don't like but don't hate either. I prefer bent over barbell rows Dorian style.

The two blokes in that pic seem to have been able to build some decent muscle with it. ;D

You use db's on that set up also?

I have, but when I do, I put one of my wife's step aerobics things under the bench to raise the DBs enough to grab.

Often when I swim, fighter jets use my back as an aircraft carrier, but I'm cool with them.
-
i rarely use free weights anymore since my gym got itself a lot of hammer strength back machines,all kinds from the pullover to d.y rows...7 different types of machines just for back ;D

I have made rowing machines with the exact simulation of a bar in the corner and still the muscleheads complain. Few know how to do the exercise
correctly. You have to put your feet forward and not stand up with the bar.
I also made an apparatus with an Olympic bar with one end secured and a nice handle near the weights. This is for muscleheads that don't
like the machine. I swear most bodybuilders are sheep. They literally believe free weights are better so don't want to be seen using any machines
except the obvious lat pulldowns, etc.
Even if someone made a perfect machine with heaps of adjustments some dude would come along and put a block of wood under one end!
Many use the Ironing Board to do barbell rowing.

nice looking contraption, vince

Thanks. A very popular bench. We need a bar like the one earlier in the thread that has a bend in the middle. The lads always hit the bottom of the bench with the bar.
Of course you can use dumbbells with the Ironing Board.
Below is my lever rowing machine. I have made several versions and this was my latest. Not used much by the heads.

Hi Donny. I have been designing and building our gym equipment since 1975. I had a factory since 1981. So I fashioned most of our equipment and all or our
free weight equipment. The lads are fussy so I usually have to build a few versions before they are happy. I also build safety into the equipment. For example,
you can't drop a bar on your face while using any of our barbell benches. Bench press, incline, decline and press behind the neck. The decline and incline safety
supports are unique. Well, I haven't seen them on other equipment.

Damn wish my gym had that.

T-Bar rows of any type have always been my favorite for making the Lats thick. Have used every one you could think of over the years. Also love the Hammer Strength Upright row.
