Without getting into the arguments about what kind of grip to take I'd like to address this idea of "taking the biceps out of rowing and pulldown movements". I've heard people say that before. Part of row is elbow flexion is it not? Other than relying purely on momentum (which seems to me a better way to get injured) I would like someone to tell me how they think they can bend their elbow but take their biceps and forearms out of it? All using that philosophy does is make your biceps more of a limiting factor in terms of weight. The bottom line is I can pull more weight with an undernand or "curl" grip. More weight on the biceps portion of the movement means more weight to work your back.

This is not to get into the different biomechanical factors between different grips or which will cause injury. I am simply speaking to the fallacy that you can "take your biceps out of it". You can't.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
