Author Topic: HOW MUCH DO YOU T-BAR ROW???? (Read 30511 times)

Just started doing this exercise a month or so ago...am interested in hearing what kind of weight people tend to shift on this (no one else at the gym seems to do it)...talking about barbell T-bar rows, not the machine.

Not including barbell i can do 200 for 8 (I KNOW, BRUTAL!!).

kg's?

Alas, no...give it a few months though.

What kind of figures are you throwing about, 'Redwine'??

Most I ever got was 3 plates.

I do them Ronnie style, bb stuck in one corner and pulling with a parallel, close grip handle, with the body at about 60 - 70^o

I do 7 plates for about 6 reps (2 sets). Terrific exercise

Agree...have to be my favourite back exercise besides deadlifting, only wish i'd discovered it sooner.

Great weight by the way.

Most I ever do is three plates (45's) because any more I feel like I'm using just my arms. I prefer the Ronnie Style in the corner though.

That's interesting 'Big_Wiggs'. Although i'd have to say that going by your avatar alone, I'd have thought you couldnt get much of a back workout from just the 3 plates?

Mate, you're a big f*cker and you obviously know what you are doing, but you have to realize you are never going to get a pump in your back like you do in your arms or calves when you train them. The back muscles can handle huge loads (I'm purely talking weights here

) and a guy your size should be swinging some crazy weights in Tbars. The added weights will give you more thickness too

Terrific exercise

I agree. I loved doing them this way, compared to the manufactured version with one end attached to a fixed end, that's on a platform you're standing on.
I never used 45's when doing the rows stuck in the corner-I preferred 25's for better ROM, and I think my best on that was 7-6 plates prior to my back going south.
On the aforementioned T-Bar Row, I think I've used 4 45's, and on a supported T-Bar, I remember going up to 5 for a good 6 reps.

Nothing spectacular....

i use 5 pound plates for a "better stretch" i'm up to 5 of them on the bar now for 6 reps.

HUGEPECS · « **Reply #24 on:** December 10, 2007, 07:39:59 AM »

I love T-bar Row, but only when my lower back don't fcuk with me.
