Nice job CS looking great bro

Thanks D! I'm actually really pleased with my back (despite not cracking the lat spread!) it's my fav bodypart, nothing says "STRENGTH" better than a broad back IMO (well maybe a big ole neck...)

Ok so I wasn't feeling the Yates rows so I filmed some. Check out my form and tell me if there's anything I could improve on.

Thanks guys.

Ok so this is what I gather, you need to bend over more (still keep back flat) so you pull a bit more up and back then just back. Also worth noting that you are using a underhand grip which is going to shift focus a little more on your lower lats which most people don't feel as much as the rest of their back. If you go to an overhand grip you should feel the focus change a bit. Also, I am a fan of pendlay rows more than Yates rows and I def feel them a lot more, both overhand and underhand grips.

 

[Colstreamer]

Yeah I like Pendlay rows too. But I wanted a bit of variety. I'll try bending over a tad more. thanks bro!

You look pretty good to me....but I dont do Yates Rows either.
Pendlay all the way for me.
