Maybe I am infelxible but I couldnt bend over and kinda have my ass out and back arched, I sorta ended up at lik 110degree more than 90 angle rowing.
I know it is a great movement and lats are one of my shittiest bodyparts.
suggestions?
Your and 99% of people have same problem with this exercise: Your lower back is weak. First of all you have to have enough strength in your lower back to maintain that hideous posture and 90° angle. If so, you can use full range of motion and you really benefit by doing that exercise. Those blockheads who do it in 45° angle look like idiots with their 20% range of motion, and that is what they deserve, because they doesn't benefit at all by doing that. Secondly, you have to use moderate weights while doing this, because of the posture, until you know how to do it right. What I do is that I load a barbell to the floor, and put little piece of veneer front of it, so when I stand front of the barbell my heel is on the veneer, half an inch higher than my toe. Then I bend down and also bend my knees and tighten the straps. Then I pull the barbell against my shins. Then I straighten my knees and continue to the lift. I pull the barbell against my lower abdomen and arch my upper back while my lower back stays motionless. Then I lower the barbell for the next rep. I start with two 40lb plates and add 20lb per set for four sets. For lower back strength I do 40 reps of hyper extension three times per week + 40 reps of crunch, 20 reps of side crunch, and couple of sets of stiff legged dead lifts once per week. I also do dead lifts once per two weeks.
