Deadlift Day
Cycle 12 Overall Impression: so knee pain left the body yesterday morning. my schedule this week is kinda messed up. because of spring break plus the injury i sustained (it wasnt an injury..i just overley stretched my ligaments of my right knee) i have skipped my squat and bench workouts. i worked out today on deadlifts and then come monday i will do my military press workout. come the following week i will be back on schedule 100%. i havent been eating enough food though....all ive been eating is a lot of protein through shakes and some chicken (ive been having 300 grams of protein odd) and a lot of pizzas...yuck. im sick of pizza.The Workout: Deadlifts |
Good to hear the Knees are feeling better. Speed work with 585, nice. I need to get out to some other gyms and see some serious lifters train.

Military Press Day
Cycle 12 Overall Impression: my weight has been a steady 172 lbs over the last 5 days. im happy :)The Workout: Standing Barbell Military Press |
I'm sure you can do a low cable row as well. Stop being so rigid :). Just don't use an "iso-lateral" thingy.
You may be able to do a sort of supported row off a bench using dumbells but benches tend to be too low. If you can get the right angle or something maybe... |
i disapprove of your ab work.... ;)
you should take a vid of your barbell rows so we can see what's up. |

Well do whatever weight and sets you can nail down good form. The low cable will help you isolate just the "rowing" portion of things so that should help you later on convert that into better bb rowing form. If you really feel unnatural with it then use moderate weight lowish reps so you can work on quality sans fatigue from higher reps. Then when you feel more confident convert that into higher reps...even up to 15 if you want.
I think a lot of people do bad cable rows out of ignorance and so they cheat and whatnot. But it's easier to correct these problems versus not feeling so good with a barbell because you simply have more to deal with. So to me it's sort of like when you learn olympic lifts and they have you practice each portion of it....just not near as complicated of course. I think the goal should be to try to get all your rows heavier somewhat but mainly to be comfortable with whatever row you're doing. And if you feel "unnatural" I'll bet 9 times out of 10 that translates to "need lighter weight". Don't be afraid to do more than one kind of row in a session. I.E. you can do some practice work with a row you're learning with moderate volume and then finish up with a row you more comfortabe with. Hell the other day I did cable rows w/parallel handle followed by V-handle followed by barbell....(followed by keiso shrugs :biglaugh:). |
thanks for the tips, eric. i think ill do as you suggested: more than one row variation per session coupled with lighter weight and lowish reps on new exercises...so i think im gonna do
Barbell Rows = 95 lbs x 5 reps x 4 sets and then add reps each time Cable Rows = 3 sets of some reps with some weight |
Not yet.
First just concetrate on the cable rows for a while to get used to the mechanics of rowing. Don't mix it up right away. I was talking about later down the line after you were more comfortable with rowing in general...which I don't think you are. Once you are then you could do the barbell rows for practice followed by something else you feel better with like you have above. But right now I think you would just be confusing things. |
