I could never figure this exercise out properly until I watched some Arnold clips to see how he did it. You really have to bend over, so your torso is parallel to the ground, then take a very wide grip. He even would stand on a bench or platform to force more of a stretch in the lift. I love it now...+See More

I love it now that I have this form down. In this demo on here and everywhere else you see people load up the weight, but then are standing almost straight up, doing like a shrug, which doesn't really even hit the back that much. I would say try to youtube some Arnold clips or check his book on how to do these back rows. It really showed me how to do these. -See Less

It's a good exercise, yes. But do yourself a favour and just do Pendlay Rows (back parallel and the barbell goes to the floor on every rep). They are safer for the back, they actually target the lats better, and plus you'll look like a king for showing the world how BB rows are meant to be done to smash...+See More

Great mass builder for the back. Should be a staple of any back routine along with deadlifts and pullups.

For this exercise the weight should be lower than what you can just lift. It should be what you can properly lift to your stomach. By only pulling the bar up a few inches, the workout is lost due to lack of squeezing your back muscles.

The best for the back(lats), Barbell bent-over rows are basically bench press for the back, basic and essential.

Great exercise, Do this with a super set with Good Mornings, and Upright Rows Til Fail with a nice weight, great way to burn up your back during a back work out!! Don't sacrifice weight for form play around with it until it's comfortable, yet challenging.

True! As Jag mentioned, form is key! Do not sacrifice form for more weight. You would be wasting your time if you did. You want to feel the back flex to its full potential. Maintain focus during exercise to reduce the risk of injury!
