True!
OP - what is your current back routine?
Are you still creaming over Tom Hardy?
Also, can you explain what these rows are, I have not heard of them before.

Eh, it’s just another question due to a TNation article.
[quote]Upper Body 100
Front Plate Raise. This is done with a full range of motion, i.e., until the hands/plate are over the head. Using this range of motion greatly taxes the upper back and shoulders. Weight used = 25-pound plate.
Barbell Curls. Weight used = 45-pound barbell.
Kirk Karwoski Rows. Weight used = 135 pounds (barbell plus two 45-pound plates). Straps are not allowed.[/quote]
Let’s guess at what it is
I bet you suspend yourself supine between the TEX things or rings and grab the bar. Which is also suspended in front of you and then you swim move toward it and row it to your nose
A desorption of it is in this article

The guy pictured above did, primarily for lockout and grip strength (especially when using a thumbless grip) and credits his 800 pound deadlift to them. (Similar reasons Matt Kroc had for “inventing” Kroc rows. Let’s think on that for a sec.)
I haven’t used Karwoski rows (sometimes called “grip shrugs”) but they seem pretty similar to “Haney shrugs” - behind the back Smith machine shrug/rows - just done in front of the body. As long as you don’t get stupid with the weight and form, why not give them a shot for a few weeks and see how it goes.
Technique-wise, dude, it’s a shrug variation. I can’t imagine how you could be screwing it up that badly. Shrug, some arm pull, hold for 2-count, lower, repeat.

This is funny, and sad, and funny.
I hadn’t caught any before but I just double-checked and, really, six different threads in six months all about back training. Everyone’s goals are their own thing, but getting some perspective might be worthwhile.
Here’s a video, took me awhile to find it the other day.

If building a cobra-like yoke is your ONLY goal from six months now, why DA FUCK you don’t have it already? it can’t be so complicated…
