Excellent video; I'm not very experience with lifting in general, so the cues you give in each of these videos are literal game-changers

Thank for this series Brian! I've found all of them very helpful. Could you please do one on Pullups? Its one of my weakest exercises.

Brian, your simple yet effective way of explaining set up, technique and mental queues are so freaking great. It makes a world of a difference when you focus on what matters!

My man has zero dislikes. Keep at it Brian! Love your content. I have to build my row back up after I tweaked my back... this is incentive.

very informative, thanks. subscribed

Gonna do some BOWs tomorrow. Actually looking forward to it.

I’m just learning to barbell row (new to serious lifting) and and was just getting bored of repeating the video you have with Omar (didn’t find most other videos on the topic on KZread that great), this is literally perfect timing

Been doing these for a few weeks now. Keep upping the weight and has helped my bench press. I've now trying to push my deadlift too.

Super good vid - very helpful. I want that T-shirt.

Brian, I remember watching these tips in one of your earlier videos and I started following them. Sure enough my row went up to equal my bench. After that both lifts went up and my shoulders stopped hurting as frequently. Firm believer now that if you you can push it you’d better pull it first.

Thanks I definitely am behind on rowing compared to benching, wish I knew this years ago.

Thanks for the video... This is an exercise I have sorely been neglecting... Today is back day so I'm going to use your tips. By the way never mentioned how much your breathing and bracing video helped me... Thx so much... Added numbers to all of my lifts

Thanks Brian!

just found you on youtube, love the way the information is put across and easy to watch (dont find myself getting bored like lots of other channels) Goof shit, keep it up my dude!

I like your last piece of advice. Before the whole lockdown I started to do antagonistic training, which included doing bench press and barbell rows together. I really got my rowing weight up to par and as the smallest man alive, I've realized having a bigger back really helps you fill in your shirts.

Great tips man, as usual. Happy to say that I can bench and row my own body weight, and squat slightly more. Been rowing more lately, and that seems to translate into advancing in everything else.

Keep doing these types of vids there quality 👍👍

Thanks. Helpful.

Awesome video Brian!!!! Please make a video on how to do a perfect push-up with proper form, please!!! And how to teach a push-up to someone who can’t do one single rep and how to progress etc. I know there are a million videos out there but you know, you are the goat regarding fitness, strongman, powerlifting, performance etc. And you can teach like nobody else! Thank you very much for your valuable time and help

Yeah...I used to hate doing BB rows. Now I treat the setup like a RDL and they're amazing. Thanks, Brian!

Before i started lifting seriously (2 months ago) my sport was whitewater kayaking (and it still is). I can row more weight than I can press. Not suprising but the presses are catching up. Btw I started your linear progression program. I love it. I never really enjoyed lifting that much but the giant sets add so much more athleticism to the workout that I love going to the gym now. It's so much more fun than the classic bodybuilding style of training which consists more of waiting than actual lifting. Thanks Brian, keep up your awesomeness

Number 10 was what got this video a like from me.

Hate rows but I have been doing them every workout for the past 6+ months per your advice and all of my lifts have skyrocketed because of it! Even bought a separate barbell just for rowing! Thanks for all of your great advice.

So kind and swole

Good info here thanks

That whole initiating the pull with your ring finger trick is nice. I think it couples nicely with that idea of trying to bend the bar like a horseshoe, like you'd do with your rack position for a squat, but just apply that same kind of idea without it being on your back. Whenever I press the thumb side of my hand more inward and pull from the ring finger's like i'm trying to snap the bar like a pencil, I've felt way more secure.

Im just about to start my offseason for the next 16 weeks gonna stop deadlifting to just prioritize my barbell row cause i never have so im really excited to see how strong i can get at it and how much the additional upper back strenght will help my deadlift later on cause i think that is my weakness.. Got alot out if this video thanks!

I subscribe to almost no one - and you are the shit. Thanks for the reminders / advice. Love it.

I was surprised at how much I actually learned from this quick hitter. I didn't know about the bicep tear thing, but after a few years of deadlifts I started using only chalk and a dbl overhand until I would fail a rep, then de-load 10% or less and come back with straps dbl over hand and bypass the fail. I also do this for rows and farmers walks. I've bought grip training specific devices and they collect dust. My grip is just fine with this method.

And the children. Thanks for the video, Brian!

Definitely agree with #10, especially in the context of giant sets. Rowing the same weight (or 5-10lbs higher) for the same number of reps obviously builds your back, but also your (read "my") confidence for the upcoming bench press a few seconds later. In my head, if I can row 275 for 3, I can definitely hold and bench 270 for 1. Because, by comparison its lighter and easier. Huge plus mentally!

Great channel

I love this video

i love bb row! It's probably my favorite movement. My bb row is stronger than my bench

Love the row thanks to you it’s been huge for me My barbell row rep/weight range is now equal to my bench press rep/weight range. Thanks for helping me get my priorities in check!

Chase Eustice it only took you one day, nice progress

Brian ,you were talking about bicep tear and coming back,you are right I tore mine not from lifting and it took me awhile get back to lifting and I been lifting with me still have tear

I think you are completely right to say that you should be able to row as much as you can bench press. There are no excuses for not being able to.

Dope channel and video. Subscribed 🦍💪🏼🤝🏻

just went from 315 max on deadlift a couple weeks ago to 365 today. and i attribute that to barbell rows and some new found improvements on my setup/form. but rows still lagging behind my bench tho. and i do like to bench and row in the same set

Recently 'discovered' your channel and I am glad I did. Tons of pure gems here. And I'm not a powerlifter/strongman. I have squat rack, adjustable bench and barbell, pullup bar and exercise bands in my apartment (neighbours probably hate when I deadlift, but I try to control decent 100%) and I lift to stay healthy as possible. Due to forefinger injury on some lifts I use straps. Better to use it, than to not be able to close my fist for a week. Straps are really great for rows. One thing I noticed, if I wrap my thumb over the bar, I don't feel lats working as much as they should do and I get arm pump. That's why I on rows keep thumps over the bar, same side as other fingers, like when I do the pull ups. And that way I can really feel the lats working on the rows.

Excellent tip about waiting to use straps until you can at least row your bodyweight or bodyweight+ 50lbs. Thanks Brian. I am staying away from my straps thanks to this video. 😅

Love this video series! Do you have any thoughts on using straps for weighted pull ups? I tried it once just to change things up but setting up the straps was awkward so I abandoned the idea.

I feel the BB row should be classified as/with the “big 3” or compound movements. It is the counterpart to the bench press. Both employing multiple groups working in synergy.

@jahimuddin2306

Жыл бұрын

I round the big four up to five with the row. I treat it as a big strength movement and not as an accessory to the bench or deadlift.

Do’s of donts of tricep dips please !!

Damn! I’m an “old man” and have just tossed out the Yates row after watching this - could have been gnarly!

In terms of programming, since you are doing rows every workout, do you do heavy rows on deadlift day? How often are you doing heavy vs endurance or explosiveness?

The best tip was the breathing in my opinion along with the bicep tear probability. I will say that my BB row is better than my bench.

3:40 How do you do a “whatever row”? Just kidding, total sarcasm. Love the videos. Keep up the good work bringing us informative and entertaining content.

Kinda random question, but regarding the higher chance of biceps tears with double underhand rows: Does the same risk also apply for chin ups? I never heard anyone raising that concern, but everyone (myself included) would avoid double underhand rows for the risk of tearing your biceps. But wouldn't there be the same risk with a chin up (apart from not being able to cheat the movement or use momentum etc)?

Regarding only using double overhand, I perform the barbell row with underhand grip BUT using the hook grip. I only lower to mid knee because i want the bar to be pulled to the pelvis and not above the belly button. Doing it this way the bar is always close to my body and puts less pressure on lower back. Every time the bar drifts slightly away from body the pressure on lower back is not worth it for me. Also I slow the negative so that I am not using jerking motion that might damage the biceps. The upper arm is rubbing agains the lats and the bar is squeezed near the pelvis area and that give stronger contraction in the lats and lower lats. The hook grip is key for me else I would NEVER do underhand barbell row. I realized that using hook grip my biceps are pretty much out of the movement. If I'd using traditional grip I'd be gripping the bar harder and using lot more biceps and risking bicep tear. Thoughts on this? May be I am completely deluded.

I use straps for barbell rows, bench press, and bicep curls

Hi Brian, love your videos. Should I always keep my scapula retracted or allow to protract at the bottom?

I’m imbalanced.. but the opposite way... I row wayyyyyyy more than I bench Thanks for the great tips, as always!!!
