Crazy underrated exercise for bigger and thicker back Can’t imagine not consistently using bent over barbell rows if a primary goal is hypertrophy

It's truly an inferior exercise for the upper back. Your lower back will fail you before your upper back does. What you want is a chest supported row. Save the hip and lower back stuff for Deadlifts.

Under-used and underrated these days, maybe, where so many do machine rows or those overhyped single arm cable rows.

Can I achieve the same with this? Not enough equipment in my gym.

You seem to have different form that I have seen and do myself. What’s your thought process ? Looks more like how Arnold did the rows with a rounded back.

Yes I keep feet close to keep hips high and I relax lats at the bottom to get full tension at end ranges

Actually very well used. Tons of people use it frequently. I use this device. I know @homegymcoop its not optimal but it works.

some of my best gains were from bent over rows. I just wish I could find the motivation to do these more these days.

I can do this on cable, there´s no need to waste my time setting this up.

ベントオーバーロウはとてもいい種目ですね あと背中はデットリフトやってれば十分な気がします

Would you still recommend very low reps on this?
