  • Question regarding dumbell rows

    Mainly for Kane, as he's doing it in the video, but is there any difference/benefit you see from doing them standing off the bench like in this video:
    http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/mag.html

    rather then on a bench like this:

    ??

    Just curious. I may try them out as you're doing them in the video to see for myself, but I was just wondering if you noticed any difference.

    Thanks.

    not using a bench forces your body to work as a structure, which is a huge benefit.

    it is a similiar concept with regards to a leg press vs squats, or standing vs seated shoulder presses ..

    it will thus require more muscles to be involved, even if they are held in an isometric contraction rather than causing any of the eccentric/concentric movement of the actual rowing movement



    I personally never put more than the opposing hand (assuming 1 arm row) onto a bench

            toss in face pulls to that combo for the ultimate back attack.. you may also notice improved shoulder health & functioning

            but since noone usually cares about shoulder health or back training, this will all correlate to an increased bench press (assuming you know how to bench correctly)

            The increased upper back strength will also enhance your deadlift/pulling strength, but chances are noone will care about that either..

                    Very good variation
