HOW MUCH DO YOU T-BAR ROW????

[PANDAEMONIUM]

Well guys I'm off to the gym,

I'm not a big guy (5'5'' circa 200 lbs and a bit tubby), and I'm a lifetime natural. But I train very hard in an Arthur Jones HIT fashion doing full body workouts and using proper form. So when I hit the gym I do the following:
-Back squat (ass to the ground)  ...315 for 10ish reps
-Deadlift (narrow stance)           ....315 for 10ish reps
-Bench                                    ...225 for 10
-Close grip bench (ez bar)           ...200 for 10ish
-Dips                                       ...bodyweight for 10-15
-Ez bar Rows                            ...200 for 10
-Pullups                                   ...bodyweight for a few reps                     
-Curls                                     ...100ish lbs

I'm certainly not weak (I deadlift 405 for 11 or so when I skip squats) yet 200 lb rows leave my lats so fecked I can't do pullups or curls properly afterwards.

But if you guys row 500 for sets of 10, I'm probably doing something wrong... just like the 50ish inch chest I got from flying with 20 lb dumbbells, must be doing something wrong.

PS-I'll paypal $100 to any GetBigger who can row 315 with an arched back and their torso parallel to the ground while pulling the bar to their lower abdomen. Just post a YouTube video (drop the plates individually to prove they're not fake)

Damn you're a monster.

Ever thought about competing in powerlifting or the world's strongest man?  Not being facetious at all.  You are one STRONG mofo.

This tool gets laughed off of every thread he hijacks.  haha

I love how he posts and posts but never actually addresses anyone else's questions/criticisms.  He reminds me of a horse with blinkers on running full speed into a concrete wall.  Although obviously 'The Luke' would be running faster than any horse.

We better be careful, otherwise "he" will start accusing us of being the same person

Are you saying The Puke is the kind of guy who walks into a Sperm bank and demands a loan, Heckler?

[Option D]

I use the OG way with Bar in the corner. and I also use the V handle for grips

maybe your angle is a bit messed up that hurts your back?

haha, what I am saying is that "Teh Luke's" colon IS the sperm bank

[kiwiol]

Hahaha I heard The Puke is often hired by the local police to investigate rapes - he simply does a taste test with the splooge in the crime scene and is able to identify the attacker immediately using memory recall, as long as they are 250 lb+ Jamaican musclebears. Gayer than one of Oprah's male fans

hahahahaha this is some of your finest work   Welcome back, my friend

7 plates a little sloppy, 6 plates strict... squadfatter wanna call me on this too?

kiwiol,

I won't address all the "Luke is so gay that..." bullshit as all it shows is that you can't argue a point. The gimmick account circle jerk only confirms it... you guys mustn't get any respect in real life if you have to indulge in this mutual reinforcement; it's infantile.

You claim to do your rows with a 60 to 70 degree angle. I know that you sincerely believe you are correct in this assertion but you are sincerely wrong.

By your logic I'm doing my rows with a zero angle... which is obviously bullshit, as it would imply I'm not even  bending over... the angle should be measured FROM the vertical, NOT from the horizontal. I do my rows at 90 degrees and you do yours at 30 degrees (90 minus 60). I'm three times more bent over than you are when doing rows.

So keep telling yourself, like all the other delusional ego lifters, that you are rowing at 60 degrees (which sounds pretty close to 90 degrees doesn't it); don't ever let anyone tell you that you're rowing at 30 degrees... just keep doing all your lifts "Ron Harris" style. He posted vids of his 315 lb rows and it was laughable (at least he was man enough to admit he'd been fooling himself).

While you're at it you might as well just go whole hog and start training Kamali-style...


What I don't understand is why everyone respects these weirdos... it's pretty obvious the "Squad" is comprised of dim-bulbs. Anyone with even a little gym experience would know that this partial deadlift/shrugging bullshit started when gym morons attempted to ape the form of Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman.
   No one ever considered the fact that both Dorian and Ronnie were actually bending over as much as they could do comfortably allowing for their swollen midsections.

I guess a high post count doesn't equate to lifting knowledge.

I don't have an afternoon to read all of this.  Can somebody summarize?  Is Teh Luke doing "his" usual penis puffing routine?

[Option D]

you use the thing with the pad on your torso. or the OG way with bar in corner and v bar grips.. 8 plates might fuck up the bar

How do they drive?  Or sit?

Your obsession with 90 degree rows is comparable to the moronic common belief that the flat bench press is the only way to develop your chest.  Its like saying the incline bench is a pointless exercise.  

Kiwiol's confusion over how to measure an angle neither detracts from his argument or supports yours...everyone understood what he meant.

For someone with such alleged intelligence, you're an idiot.

what the hell are you babbling about?

[Van_Bilderass]

Pad on your torso is a different exercise = chest supported row. This eliminates cheating. I think I used 120kg at the most, but I'm sure it would vary between machines.

...sorry, I meant they are bending as much as they can comfortably under load considering their swollen midsections.

My bad, didn't intend any ambiguity.
