Barbell Bent Rows

[TopSecret]

I've got a couple questions on these.

1) Where are you supposed to pull the bar up to?

-Your lower abs (the waist)
-between the lower and upper abs
-upper abs
-almost to your chest

2) When using overhand grip was is the correct position of the arms when pulling up?

-keep the arms close to you (like a close grip bench pres)
-hold the arms at a 90 degree angle (basically like a bench press)

That second question, basically I want to know if your elbows should be kept close to your body or flared out like in a barbell bench press.

Shoulder width pull to lower abs.

SO when pulling up your elbows should stay inline with your shoulders? so like a close grip bench press type of movement then?

The lower you pull it, the better you allow the back to support the weight.

Remember to start the lift by pulling the shoulders back...as if squeezing them together.....

Most of my rows i do dynamically off the floor now. I pull them where they go. I don't really pay attention. For those of you that stand up and do them, it is probably going to depend to some degree on how far bent over you are. I don't think i could touch real low if i am parallel to the floor.

I use an overhand grip pulling to the lower rib cage.

I was thinking the same thing, I touch a littler higher but bend more than most people. Half the guys i see doing bent over rows are prettymuch standing straight up and moving the bar about 3 inches
