Bent-over rows with a triceps bar

[KSA]

What's your opinion 

[pumpster]

Better IMO, like using a triangle V-bar for rows or pulldowns. Great lat burn using them in this context:

Thanks pumpster, your help is always useful

Rather stupid in my opinion.

Have you even tried it before making that judgement?

Just wondering how much weight you could squeeze onto that bar for a decent lat workout? Why not just use a pair of DB's? The hand position, forced to use, would  seem to get in the way of the legs when bent over. That one photo of a lying row, with the crimped BP'ing bar, seems a  unnecessary exercise. I have seen it done on a incline bench face down, though. Hitting the posterior delts and upper back better. Picking a standard exercise bar, over a tricep bar, for working lat's would be a more productive selection, by far. Good Luck..

Basically it's like using a triangle V-bar attachment, which is different from using dumbbells or a straight bar and better, IMO.

I have a tri bar in my home and plan on giving it a try.  Thanks for the suggestion.

I have no fear of experimenting.  For me, it is a continual process of adjustments.  And I train at home, so I have nobody to try to impress.

Yes

So basically you have nothing to say other than criticizing it.. No one's gonna take that seriously.

Bro, look at that picture of the tricep bar, what part of the bar are you gonna grip to row with?  the handles I see would put your hands about 4 inches apart, is that how you grip a barbell to row?  with your hands 4 inches apart?

Why do you put everyone down in your replies?  To make you feel better about yourself?  You have a self-confidence issue and you are a punk.

It's at least as wide a grip as a triangle V-attachment widely used for cable rows, T-bars, close grip chins and pulldowns..besides which the neutral grip at any width burns the lats better IMO.

I suppose if I didn't have db's to do one arm rows with, i might use that if I was in a home gym environment.  My bad.,

He criticized everyone else first, regardless of your selective memory.

"Real men use real bars"? hahahaahahahahahah

[Old_Rooster]

What's your opinion 

Still seems to me using that to do rows, your elbows would hit the plates once they are loaded.  Or would you load it up with 10 pound plates?

I guess i've never had to actually think how to adjust using a home gym environment, I own a gym and lift there, have always lifted in a gym.   I really don't think I could lift at home, I need people around when I lift, I need that atmosphere of many people grunting.

[pumpster]

Anyone using "stupid" in their assessment immediately removes their credibility in criticizing others.

Rather stupid in my opinion.

How old are you?

[pumpster]

Old enough to have noticed you're annoying. Too bad you had to attack something others wanted to discuss seriously with "stupid". Brilliant.

[Old_Rooster]

Old enough to realize i'm built better than you even at my age?

[pumpster]

5-year old logic, no idea what i look like. I saw your pic with the bizarre 2-tone tan & endless self-congratulatory posts.

You were on that board complaining about the people here, too. If you don't like it, try Iron Age it might be better for your approach.

All I have to do is read your posts to realize what you look like dude, which is you look a lot better in your mind than you actually look.

Now in my posts, I was asking why folks like you blast people here instead of helping them.

But it matters not grasshopper, you are really not that important to me.  Now run along.
