Weight you use with Barbell Rows

yeah bro i think here in internet land we get alot of off the wall numbers,lol, as for me i dont row much,lol

lol i agree with you there are very few people ive met that can legitimately row upwards of 315. At one time i could hit 315 for about 10 with good form. Right now i stick at about 185 for 15 then 200 and up to 225 sometimes for 8 slow steady reps. Im at the point now where i care about strength but not like i used to i care more about the tension on my muscles for the longest period possible. strength will come i just wish i trained like this from the start.

last sept i did a set of rev grip bb rows with 275 for 4 good ones and a couple extra bad ones.....i bend down lower than most people on those

You know if you attend a decent size gym just sit back and watch the people that do bb rows its quite funny to watch form. Its more of a bicep workout for most of them. Barely bend over at all and just jerk it up to their mid quads and come back down quickly lol. Its funny to watch. Even the trainers have them doing it that way.

lol I once had a trainer tell me I'd ''hurt my back'' by bending over so far doing rows lol....I recently starting doing the dorian yates underhand rows and i feel them a whole lot but when i switch back i hope to be stronger.....my last time I did 185 for 8 good controlled reps , tried 225 but felt like i was using more of my bi's than my back to pull.....

I dont do barbell rows currently. last time I did them my lower back got a horrible knot and I ended up on relaxers. I used about 205 when I did though. I never go really heavy on anything that has constant shoulder pulling because mine feel like they will pop out of joint.

I can do 315 for about ten reps. I WILL NOT go over 315 however. I can get a good pump and feel I am working my back better with a bit lighter weight. If I want to work my lower back I will do roman deadlifts and go up to 405.

275lbs on the Yates row, 6-9 reps

 

[The Dude]

Looking back at my log, I got up to 345 for 14 good reps. I bend over to where my chest is just over parrallel to the ground and row to just under my pecs. That is the strongest I have ever been though.

Never gone higher than 225
