WTF IS THE DEAL LATELY WITH THE 25LB. PLATE T BAR ROWS?????
« on: January 10, 2008, 12:42:48 PM »
i swear i've seen at least 7-8 geeks this week alone doing the hardcore "put the bar in the corner of the power rack" t bars with 25 pound plates for "a better stretch" ::), even if you stack the damn thing to the limit it's only roughly 200 pounds.

Easy squad, you can add more 25's and next thing you know you got a glorified pipsqueak that thinks he's Ronnie Coleman in the corner.

I use 25's. Whats the problem?  First off, has NOTHING to do with the stretch all mighty guru.  Its the CONTRACTION.  You can pull it back further.  I personally use 3 25lb plates, THEN put on 45's.  This allows me to pull the bar closer to my stomach for a better CONTRACTION.  Get it?

AHHAHAHHAHA!!!  They claim a "better stretch".......classic horseshit.   The only reason for the 25s is so they have more than 2 plates on the bar......done and done.   A better stretch is pure horseshit.....anyone that says otherwise is full of crap.   I've loaded a bar with 45s and the "stretch" was just fine.   Most never use a full ROM anyhow.....all horseshit so pussies can feel better about their cubscout level strength.

I think the 'stretch' thing is BS, but I can see the validity for wanting to pull the bar for a better contraction.  Never tried it, though.  I remember Flex Wheeler doing those on the YouTube video where he was getting ready for the 1998 (I think) Arnold Classic.

it's funny, my gym is one of the very few that has one, it's a shitty Nautilus Nitro one though, it's decent but it's not the old classic one like in Yates video.
