Yates Rows: Supinated or Pronated Grip?
Hello,
Ive read some conflicting things about whether it is best to use a supinated (which I believe to mean palms facing towards you) or a pronated (palms away i think) grip when doing Yates Rows. So far I have been doing Yates Rows with my palms facing away from me (pronated), but I also see that a lot of people like to use a supinated grip.
Which is better for back development?

If you're hands are pronated, it's a Bent-over Row. If they're supinated, it's a Yates Row. Other than the hand placement, the only real difference is that Yate's Rows are done with a more upright posture. Originally Posted by 33sun33

Then why does the "Dorian Yates Row" H.S. machine not have pronated handles? Originally Posted by swordfish

It's hard to explain, just trust me lol.... Originally Posted by fufu

The handles don't go straight across...they slope downward...so it allows a comfortable supinated grip....but to grab it overhanded...ur arms would be internally rotated unnaturally.

I think a pronated grip stimulates the back a bit more, while a supinated grip stimulates the traps and the biceps.

I'm pretty sure it was in his book where Dorian explained that by using an underhand grip it put his biceps in a stronger position so he could work his back that much hard before his biceps gave out.
Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

I have the answer....
Who the fuck cares?
Do your rows with various grips. This is a pointless and stupid discussion.Optimum Sports Performance

perhaps the angle at which you do them, yates are much more upright while bent rows are bent over a little more. as sox and p funk has stated it doesnt really matter, vary the angle and the grips. just be careful with an underhand row, they are quite strenuous on my wrists and somewhat uncomfortable right now( i sprained my wrist a LONG time ago and that is one exercise that is hard to perform)
