True - ribcage might be too low. After doing them earlier today it’s more like lower chest - especially if you’re trying to keep your elbows out.
Just wanted to clarify.

Bent over rows: pulling to abdomen will focus tension more on the lats while pulling to chest will hit traps and rear delts. So both methods work, but for different reasons. Alternate both methods and you’ll reap better rewards.
I’ve made a serious effort to vary back angle and what part of my upper body I row to on a regular basis. If I did the exact same thing week in week out, I’d end up at home doing needlepoint after a month or so. I realize that there are optimal ways to do every lift, but being the freak that I am, I like to mix it up as much and as often as possible, always ensuring that my overall form is good, of course. Currently I’ve been doing rows with my back almost parallel to the floor and pulling the weight to my nips and focusing the effort on the middle traps and rear delts. I go exceptionally light and hold the contraction for 2-3 seconds. When I’m finished, I feel like I’ve had a massage my back is so loose. Of course, you can do the exact same thing seated with a cable, but I look sily doing it this way and I enjoy that aspect of it.
Can you guys tell me what an Oly set is and how it differs from traditional weight sets?
Nevermind, eye yam sofa king we tall did!! Say it FAST, it’s funny
