Default Dorian Rows Opinion

hello Gang,
I love bent rows but not like Dorian use to do them. I have noticed he has changed his grip style. I know some people like doing allot of their back movement with a curl grip. I am dead set against this. I am also against using a regular thumb over bar grip. I believe a trainees objective is to try to take as much bicep and forearm out of the movement as possible. I dont even like the close grip curl grip hammer strength lat pulldown. Look what happen to Dorian's bicep. I have personaly had bicep tendon problems also. I think it is crazy to try to row with a curl grip, you put a massive amount of stress on that small tendon area. I know you can pull your elbows in tighter and higher and in theory it looks great but after a few years I dont think your lower bicep tendon is going to be too happy.
