Reply With QuoteThats an interesting question, I wonder if anyone here flares their elbows out. I have always tucked them in, seems like a better ROM and a more natural movement. I almost never see anyone flaring their elbows out on a rowing movement.Originally Posted by Rocco32

Elbows in Rows
When doing Bent over Rows or other rows, should I be flaring my elbows out or tucking them in?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I flare em out, but not completely perp. with my body, because then it would be working the same muscles as the db rows, right?

Mine aren't completely in (unless I am using an underhand grip) but they are not completely out either. I like to do them right in the same line of pull that I would bench press. Just the opposite motion if you know what I mean.

Cool, thanks everyone. I think I've been flaring out a bit too far and I just started realizing that today.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

it isn't bad to flare out. it just places the row more the transvers plane and you hit your rhomboids and mid traps a little more. Not bad, just different.

I tend to go with the natural motion of the bar im using when doing seated cable rows. For instance, if I used the close grip type handle, then the elbow stay tucked; if however Im using the lat bar on the seated cable row, the elbows will flare. Just my $.02. Now bent over rows, I keep the elbows tucked.

I'm trying to improve my bench so I just need to focus more on the lats though now correct? Originally Posted by P-funk
