Barbell rows

[paddy155]

Can someone tell me what would is the ideal technique for someone that is 6ft 5ins. what is the best angle for your upper body. I have tryed it it slightly higher than horizontal but then again I have seen bodybuilders nearly standing up straight doing them. Was just wondering if one is better than the other to hit the lats ?

I go for slightly higher than horizontal, otherwise Im doing upright rows!!

45º is optimal IMO

45º is optimal IMO

Agreed, thats what Im doing as well.

I'm probably somewhere between just above horizontal and 45º.

Ideal is parallel to the floor, but thats super hard when u got heavy weight. I usually do at about 30ish degrees.

0-45 is ideal
u could even pull off 60 degrees from horizontal,,

Parallel from the floor, get down like in a "hiking" position and row, both over and under hand are good but they work different parts of the back. Strict form is key although 98% of ppl cheat during this movement which hinders results.

I burst up (controlled) and then lower it slowly to the start position then repeat.

i don't know the excat angle but i do it so i have less strain on my lower back... i pull up hard and release slow so i don't jerk my back.... does anyone use though belts??? forget what they are called agian
