Dumbell rows

I think these are best if your trying to build up raw core power next to dead lifts of course. these can really boost most of all your upper body lifts.
I think these would be great for getting past strength platu's if your've not seriously tried em before.

Wot do you reckon



(not that i care wot you think)
 
what reps/sets do you like? how often do we do dumbell rows?

i need all the help i can get for my upper body lifts.
 
Lol don't you just love motivational posters!

Oh and don't you just love dumbbell rows! In all seriousness though I use to do them once a week and haven't done them for about a year now. Might give them another chop tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder!

Dumbell rows 'Kroc Rows' are a great exercise because they allow you to push your lats hard without being limited by balance and form like a bent row.

My biggest problem with them is that most gyms only have dumbells to 50kg due to OH&S issues - most people will find themselves needing over 100 by the time theyre in their early advanced stage. A chest supported T-bar row will give you the same thing without the equipment limitations.

For you my friend:

I do em twice a week with my lat p/dwns heavy as then drop sets lats. my back is total screwd next day but end up with tonnes more power as a result. great for building up bench work too

I get stuck into em every now and then, depends how I feel after deads.
Strong lift in the video, vice grips on the DB :confused:
 
Rear Delt flyes rock too. I know an easy way of doing em so you dont have to look like one of those retards on wipe-out.

unless your gym was intelligent enough to invest in a reverse deck.

I can pour all the weight into my rear delts. and have my rears pumped to the max. its an awesome feeling.
Because of these i never have to worry about shrugs or even up right rows which I hate.
My shoulders are coming in real nice mixing heavy rear delt work with my behind the neck standing militarys . The rest is all standing militarys in front and seated shoulder press heavy as till fail by about 5-6 sets. Then I alternate again between heavy rear delts and shoulder press till fail. and then tickle em up with some heavy front raises till i cant move no more.
Dumbell rows have primed me for much heavier rear delt annihilation. I endeavour to do them twice a week.
