Hammer One Arm Rows today 12-28-11

[Chris250]

Today on the Hammer One Arm Rows (the one Dorian made famous in his pic's) I did 7 plates a side for 11 reps on my left side, and 10 reps on my right side. That is the best I have done on that movement in a long, long time. I have done that much in the past, but it was near as clean as these reps where, and the number of reps I got was better than normal.

Strengh overall is going up for me, as Im not normally very strong on alot of movements, beside legs. So any strengh advancements on back or chest is good for me.

Chris, how do you do the Hammer rows? I've been doing right arm, left arm, right arm, etc...Do you do it that way or do 10 with one arm then 10 with the other? I've been trying them, but didn't know if there were a right or wrong way to do them.

the Hammer Strength that they have at my gym only goes up to 5 plates on each side, wish it could hold more

I do my sets left, right then wait a few mins. Then repeat. thats how I always have done them.

the one at my gym holds up to 7 per side, but we have extensions made for it to hold about 3 or 4 more plates. Im about ready to stick those baby's on the hammer machine....

I guess I have never seen this before. But if it is hammer strenght it has to work. I wish my gym had more hammer strenght..

this is on the sit down machine? if so I think the most I got on that was 5 plates but more quality reps with 4
