Never Seen BB Rows Done This Way

I’m confused as to why everyone has their panties in a bunch here. Please somebody explain the proper way of doing a barbell row.

I’m confused if this is not the right way and if this is not almost exactly what scooby doo was doing.

Besides advocating a his personal preference on rep scheme and low weight I’m lost to why scooby do or op has been flamed here. Sure low weight is going to be flamed… its a bodybuilding forum, guys are lifting heavy and getting big; but I didn’t see anything craaaazy with his form. [/quote]

Do you see the exaggerated arc in the movement on the concentric? and the unnatural movement place on the eccentric?

That is whats being referred to. It would be simply impossible to lift that way and add any sort of weight to the bar. Youd either tip over or be forced to use 40lbs forever.

Pay attention to the details. If the video you posted was shot from the side you’d see that the bar was travelling in a normal plane of motion. If the guy in your video tried to do the same motion with a 90 degree angle in his hips the video would be a lot different.

I agree, great vid. Anybody else think that Yates’ training partner sounds like a pirate? Particularly with that bandana :). “mighty pullovers!”

I like Scooby’s videos simply because they are always so weird. You gotta give the guy credit for having that kind of body at 40 (or is he 50?). Though the way he demonstrates some exercises makes you wonder how he’s added any muscle.

This guy has a small weak back…so why the fuck would you listen to his advice on a back exercise?

Fucking retards, damn. [/quote]

You can’t even see a clear shot of his back for one, and two he’s obviously using a light weight for demo purposes, so any judgement on his strength levels is without evidence.

Cause this site is full of attention whoring losers that have nothing better to do then criticize everyone but themselves.

Ya what a fucking small weakling at 49 years of age.

I’m gonna side with the op here, all he did was post a video for discussion then got lots of personal abuse. People read what they like on these forums then make snap judgments and insult people who are just trying to better themselves. We can’t all be awesome like some of the veteran members, why not try to be a bit more pleasant and act as you would in a face to face situation. Then again, this is the internet…

I couldn’t really see a massive difference between his row and a normal one, but now I do. I have been educated.

for those who want the website

all his vids are on here (i think) and some of his training philosophy

Then feel free to GTFO josher. You contribute fucking zero to this place, so shut the fuck up about people that actually do.

You never post shit, you don’t buy shit, so get the fuck out.

There, everyone’s problem is solved.

Compared to a sedentary person, I am sure he impresses many. Compared to serious weight lifters with up to or more than a decade of experience, it is extremely average if not below average.

I knew you’d reply to this. The thing is this guy looks better than 99% of people around here I’d bet, and he’s 49 at that. His age is what impresses me. Don’t sit there and try to tell me he’s average for an old man who lifts weights b/c you’re talking out of your ass if you do. I see lots of older guys at the gym who’ve been lifting for years and don’t look anywhere near as good.

Also, regardless of whether or not you think he’s average for someone who’s been lifting for a decade, which is a fact I guess we’re assuming since we don’t know him so who knows how long he’s been lifting, he still isn’t a small person. No he isn’t no jay cutler, but too call him small and weak, as hungry did is a retarded statement. He’s got a fair amount of muscle and good conditioning for being damn near 50.

It’s also obvious that he is targeting a different segment of people then “hardcore” bodybuilders, so I see no need to rip on him just b/c the lot of you here don’t agree with his style of lifting. Guy seems like a nice dude trying to help people out with his videos.

I disagree there tough guy. 5’7 isn’t going to make anyone look like a little bitch in comparison. The fact that hungry is more “built” is irrelevant anyway so why are you even bringing it up to argue about?

My point is he’s almost 50 and looks good with a decent amount of muscle and good conditioning, so to call him small and weak is unfair, particularly given his age.

Why even bother posting? ALl youre going to do is start an argument (probably your goal). Your opinion is useless without your own pictures. Yes I said USELESS. As in no one give a shit what a faceless random has to say. Tough shit, that’s kinda how the internet works.

So that disqualifies me from having an opinion does it? Last time I checked the agreement to join this site wasn’t dependent on purchasing merchandise or maintaining a post quota per month with a bunch of drivel. You’re just upset I’ve disrupted the groupthink that goes on around here.

I’ve been here longer than you anyway, so why don’t you shut your pie hole and go suck a dick like I know you’re yearning too.

What’s point of anyone posting then? I felt the guy needed to be defended since he was being unfairly ripped upon. Whether everyone wants to come out of the woodwork to argue with me for having a differing opinion so be it. I don’t spend all my free time on here like lot of you guys, so I probably won’t be posting much more about it beyond today.

I also don’t give a shit if you don’t care what I have to say and think it’s useless, obviously people do give a shit what I have to say, since an argument has ensued from what I did say. I know it’s hard to imagine for some of you, that there are reasons some people aren’t going to plaster their pics all around the WWW.

If someone was down my way and wanted to see if I’m some weakling talking out of my ass, I’d have no problem training with them to demonstrate otherwise, as for the interwebz though I choose to be anonymous for reasons I won’t bore you with unless you really need to know.
