R1 is hitting it hard before its shredding time

[classic34]

I agree with everyone else that there are tons of different ways to do rows. There's no set answer. I think that as long as you are feeling it in the area that you intend to hit then you're doing something right.

I agree.

The more you row the more you grow

[R1balla]

No problem man. I love good tbar rows. I like doing them like you described but that works the back a bit differently than pendlays..definitely do both.
Unfortunately, my gym doesn't have one. , although my old gym had one it was garbage.

doesnt have what? t bar? just do it with the straight bar attachment for the cable machines under the Olympic bar. or v bar

Or an Olympic bar in the corner with a DB sitting on it.

Today my back isnt even very sore. I know soreness = effectiveness, just throwing that out there. I felt like i blasted back. compared to chest day, my chest was shot. back just feels tight but ill get in the hot tub tonight for about 45 min to get it ready for my "powerlifting" day tomorrow.

edit: side note on supplements. Versa is gone, Erase is gone. I am now only using (other than my staples) Compound 20 and Forskolin 95. have about a week left on C20.

U put the negatives in?? Ever since I started doing 2-4 sec negatives on my back routine.. With extra emphasis on the stretch . I've been getting DOMs allday eryday lol n that really helped me put my mind to muscle while Doing it

Did you mean soreness doesn't equal effectiveness? I wouldn't be too concerned about a lack of DOMS. I can have some highly effective workouts with very minimal to no soreness in the days that follow.

Def agree here. Sore doesn't always = effectiveness.

[Danb2285]

Def agree here. Sore doesn't always = effectiveness.

Hmm hopefully sometimes it does cuz I did legs Sunday and its still a struggle to sit down and get back up

I agree my legs always get hella sore, I just meant just cuz you're not sore doesn't mean it wasn't a great workout. My chest and shoulders hardly ever get sore.

Ha I know bud I agree too. I was just messin with ya. My shoulders/arms hardly ever get sore but my chest and legs get doms every week seems like.

Same here man.. But what I've noticed is when I do low volume heavy weight.. That's when I'll feel sore.. But when all I do is high volume lightweights.. I never get sore from that.. Maybe I don't damage enough fibers with the lighter weights?

The body adapts very well to what we put it through. That's why I like the idea of switching things up every so often (even if its something little).

4/17 - Wednesday

Today was my "powerlifting" day. Kept it low rep but did more compound lifts with a few accessory lifts mixed in between.

started with DC legs

Calf Raises (seated) - 70

Hamstring pull - 3 sets DC

Leg Press - window maker with 360 - slowly working my legs back

Deadlift (sumo)- 225x5 285x3 315x1 - felt great to finally go a little heavier on deads

front squat/ shoulder press (still have no clue what these are called) - 70x6 80x4 95x2

Side Raises - 3 sets reps 8-12

[R1balla]
