i always switch...sometime i use the close grip handle...sometimes i'll use the wide grip (lat pull down attachment)...if i use that one i'll usually do 4 sets...2 overhand grip and 2 underhand. i don't lean in with my back anymore either..sucks b/c you don't get that stretch of the lats but whatever....i stick my chest out and just pull....easier on the back.

 

[jpt]

and you are not married yet?!?!? WOW... There is always time and room for that!!!

true...true.

we have our fun on the weekends...for several hours lol. i kind of like it better that way there's no rush...i'm not tired...etc.

ok cool.... nice, yeah deff can't lean forward and stress the lumbar. I'll have to remember to stretch my back out more.

I think i'm going to use an under grip and "shorty" straight bar.

 

[jpt]

yep...i use the shorty too. rows is prob my favorite back exercise...i can go pretty heavy on those without stressing my back...i lean back a little with my chest sticking out and pull baby!

also, try doing bent over rows on the cables with some leverage....i can go pretty heavy on those as well if i get in the right position. key here is contracting....

 

[SgtSlaughter]

nice!

Can you use a belt and do bent uni lateral DB rows ... knee and hand supported one side?

yes...absolutely. i have learned how to position my legs and my abs when doing these sort of exercise to take the strain off my back...if it hurts...don't do it. pick up lighter weigth and figure out how to postion your body...you may look like a birdbrain but if it gets the job done who gives a shit right??? lol

If you have left over energy, I see no reason why not.

But light cardio tomorrow would be good for active recovery to get some oxygen flowing too.
