T-bar Rows
Prime movers: Lats, biceps, shoulders.
Starting Position: Standing with your knees slightly bent, feet a couple of inches apart, and bending at the waist to form a forty-five-degree angle with your floor, use an overhand grip to hold the handles of a T-bar machine, keeping the weights off of the floor. Keep your back straight and your head tilted back.
Lift:
a. Keeping your body stationary and bending at the elbows, pull the bar up towards your chest squeezing your shoulder blades together.
b. Let the bar come to a brief, complete stop before slowly and controllably guiding it back up to its original starting position, the same way you pulled it up.
Tip: If no T-bar machines are available, you can make your own using a barbell and a cable bar,
as shown in the picture.
The photos above and the back exercise were taken from books in Rob Price’s “The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports” series which are available at www.sportsworkout.com and bookstores nationwide.
