I love free standing t-bar rows because of the stabalization needed to control the weight. Also, on the spider row, when the weight gets heavy, the pad becaomes annoying because it is pushing into my chest so hard.
yah at my old gym we had one of those...i always called it a t-bar...not having a pad requires way more stability from ur back...it's amazing how u can feel the difference

I like the variation a lot. But doing them on the decline bench presents other challenges that the flat bench does not, mainly, your arms are at an angle, whereas on a flat bench they are straight up in the air (at a right angle with your body), at that angle you are in a bit of shoulder extension which is activating the long head of the tricep. the long head is especially hit as you are performing the concentirc portion because your shoulder is actually moving a little bit in extension, as well as the obvious....elbow extension.

Some words on this training split:

Once I get back from vegas (two weeks form today) I will be going back to a one of the more traditional training splits I have favored in the past (one body part a day, once a week....lots of volume). This split was basically a trial type thing to go along with my mini 4 week cut (sometimes we need to try new things to see how our body responds). At first I liked the split and the high amount of frequncy but now I don;t like it so much. I feel like it is to much to train all my body parts twice in one week. I feel like I am not working to my fullest potential. I need more time to recover between workouts and this split does not offer me that. thank god this is the last week I am going to need to endure this.
