similar range of motion

T-bar rows are brutal on the lower back.

He gets a nasty stretch of the traps and mid-back, that's about it. Bad for bicep tendons, luckily the hands are pronated. Hard stretching isn't altogether useless, after all traps can grow from deadlifts where there's no range of motion, no shrug.

I was going to write the same thing- if you want to destroy a disc that is a go to exercise :)

Good mornings are one of the best exercises ever, at least I felt they were for me. Standing to different heights, even seated straddling a bench.
-
In strict form, with handeable weights, i liked it. Now my back doesn't allow it anymore.
-
;D
That hurts just looking at it.

Dumbest exercise is barbell hip thrusts. I don't know how this fad became such a big thing.
My regular gym underwent a refurb and both a hip thrust bench and machine. And possibly still take up benches, bars and racks doing this POS exercise.

I´ll stick to Hypers

what the fuck is the point of this exercise, stability? a Circus act in the Gym?

I think it's one of the greatest exercises. The glute bring the femur to a rear position. It increases sprinting and jumping strength. Use one of those hip machines for awhile and tell me it did nothing for you athletically.

In women the bar sits close or on top of the uterus. The constant pounding might cause scar tissue wich can't be good in the long run.

Did the Swiss invent the Swiss-Ball?

I used to do them a lot too in my 20s.

you know what i love Barbell rows But then i saw this guy many years back using a wide grip on seated cable rows & thought that might work.
T-Bar Rows an exercise i always avoided. one arm DB rows are a different animal, gave me the best results.
-
I DO THEM STILL...but like someone said like stiff legged dlifts for ham heavier you go it loses it impact...i think on a standard tbar row machine 3 plates is plenty on the floor version bar/handle you use for cable rows using 25's plates is better for some reason.

People either discount or just don't know enough about chest supported rows either with a BB or DB. Just as effective and a low back saver in the long run.

we have the chest supported version to i like it..
-
Ever see those 45 plates with handles? I like to row grabbing by the handles, my traps grew a lot from doing that.

In women the bar sits close or on top of the uterus. The constant pounding might cause scar tissue wich can't be good in the long run.
The constant pounding of my bar close to or on top of the uterus has caused scar tissue in women many times...
BOOM! ;D

I remember doing them a lot lol, ruining the floor in my dad's garage. One of the biggest changes I'd make if I could go back in time is focus on the contraction when it comes to back work instead of heaving heavy weight. I used all barbell work and 0 machines, but I'd switch it up to 90% machines/10% barbell.
The heavy back and leg work is probably what fucked Ronnie up so much as well. He would have lasted longer if he focussed on machine work/volume.
Shrugs seemed completely shit for me. Upright rows with light/moderate weight are a way superior movement imo.

Brutal if true

I think it was the bent over rows with 500 and sloppy form and not the 800lb squats

Chest supported barbell rows on an incline bench for the win.
Hate bicep exercises.

I'm surprised no one has been killed doing that.

as much as i dislike Robbie ( his anti-white rants about Weider) i have to agree, at least Robbie uses normal exercises & for the most part keeps it real.

Agreed, I think they are the best squat assistance exercise. The bar position and body position is essentially the same so you’ll have higher carryover than say, RDLs or lunges. I had best results with lower weight and very strict form, knees straight, back tight .. insane hamstring stretch & soreness. Doing them with one foot on a plate so as to load the other leg was my favorite variant, great way to increase the load on the glute/hams without increasing the weight.

Also agreed. I think they are popular because it’s easy to load up a lot of weight and lift due to the insanely favorable leverages. Even a relative beginner can lift a few plates on each side and look like a serious lifter to the uninformed.
I can’t be too mad though, as a fan of big butts on women I salute their efforts even if the programming is suboptimal.

I forgot about that variation, I'll try it.
I have one simplistic opinion on back pain that doesn't always apply, but often does. It's that if one has a weak back that is prone to injury, most often the lower back, it's often a bad idea to stop training it. It just makes it worse as the tissues just further weaken. But I understand the fear.
Something happened to my upper back the last 3 months as I'm in a lot of pain. Is it because I've scaresly trained my back at all recently or am I now paying for my sins of the past decades? We oldtimers always joke around that we can't ever stop training or the pain and injuries start manifesting.
