Thread: Bent over row grip?

I do mine wider than my shoulders.

I do mine shoulder width. Whether you do them underhand or overhand also makes a difference , to the muscles you hit.(I use both positions)

i seem to have a problem with my wrist when i do bent-over dumbells.. i put so much pressure on the arm that is on the bench that the forarm actually hurts after set is complete.. its goes away fairly quicky tho.. what can i do..
thanks

Have you tried barbell bent-over rows?

I used to do them wider, but it feels more comfortable when I keep my arm at about shoulder width. If you go too wide, which will cause your elbows to flare out, then you place more emphasis on your rear delts as opposed to your lats.

Thanks, he also said I could try to do them underhand also.

I read somewhere , that one also has a stronger grip (???) when doing it underhand.
