How is my form on Dumbell Rows (Video)

LaggingBiceps · 10-19-2005, 08:16 PM

I did for my first time heavy DB rows last week and my middle back got really sore (more of a pain than soreness) and I think there's a chance of it being from my form. What do you guys think?

they look fine to me thats the way I would do them

I like T-Bar rows better though

The form seems correct, just slow the negative down, IMO.

ok, thx....and everything was fine. you dont think i messed up my back from the rows?

If that was your first time doing them maybe you went to heavy? Once your back feels better try starting off lighter until you feel comfortable with the movement and then work your way up.

:nosthumbs

I agree you should go a little slower, especially on the negative.

LaggingBiceps · 10-20-2005, 09:21 PM

yeh, ok ill try that. but i did 4 sets of rows yesterday and today my back was just sore and not in pain, so i guess thats good

make sure to get a good contraction on the top.

i dont usually get a pump/burn. even if i dont get one, am i still working the muscle?

yes, pump/burn means nothing

LaggingBiceps · 10-22-2005, 03:15 PM

ok thx

i would slow down the positive a bit and really put emphasis on the negative portion of the movement. your form looks pretty good, the only thing i noticed is that you may be bending your low back a real little bit. try to keep it perfectly straight.

LaggingBiceps · 10-23-2005, 01:51 AM

i tried to do them today for some sets, and now about 8-9 hours later, my middle back hurts. why is this?

**antihero** · 10-23-2005, 01:55 AM

if your mid/low back hurts it is most likely because you are rounding your back

LaggingBiceps · 10-23-2005, 04:00 AM

ill try again tomorrow to keep my back as straight as possible

datruodb · 10-23-2005, 07:31 PM

tomorrow?? dude wait a few days then go back and do it again...

LaggingBiceps · 10-23-2005, 09:38 PM

yesterday was just a minor pain, nothing like it was last time. i couldnt do it today because i was so busy but ill do it tomorrow. but i think ill do it 2 hand DB rows not on a bench, see how that goes
