One armed barbell rows

[0ni]

Thoughts? It's like a t-bar row but you row that fucker with one arm
Looks like you would get a better range of motion with one arm as well and it looks cool as fuck. Option of using a fat grip also

Single arm dumbbell rows will target the back better than your conventional BB bent row, both great exercises, but like you Oni it's just a tool nothing more, nothing less.

And just like standing press versus seated, they can not be compared, both are different exercises.

I love the dumbbell rows, just can't fit enough weight on my dumbbells/find heavy enough ones.

Bullshit!

How many rep's you do, knackers?

At home my adjustable dumbbells go to 37.5kg (unless I use big 20kg plates that don't allow a good ROM), which I can easily do for sets of 12reps, no problem. If I put the big 20kg plates on (so not full ROM, maybe 80% ROM) doing sets of 5reps @ 50kg isn't particularly hard. I know I could get a 60kg fixed dumbbell, but for $180 + shipping, its a little more then i'd like to spend on something that is fixed weight.

Decent DBs are hella expensive.

If I had any idea about metal work I'd have a go at making my own.

Maybe I could 1 arm row my normal olympic bar, just got to get my hand perfectly in the middle of the bar I guess. I'm trying that tomorrow.

 

[The Hamburgler]

lol. You could always wrap heavy chain around your DBs. Or wear wrist weights too
