For my home gym

[Carl Nevins]

"Head supported bent over rows" takes the pressure off the lower back. Also you might want to place a folded towel or sweat shirt on the elevated portion of the bench to keep your forehead alttle more comfortable. Also this exercise allows the trainee to be darn near parallel to the floor.

I've used one of those before. I liked it alot, but the ergonomics of it were a bit off for me. I'm tall (6'3") and had to adjust myself in an awkward position for it to work right. I liked it for burnout sets because i could use a spotter to give me a little extra help when i needed it, but if it''s for your home gym you probably wouldn't have that. I'd recommend it though.

Wouldn't that put unnecessary strain on the neck? I can't imagine going real heavy and risk snapping my neck.

These things any good to use for rows? Thinking of buying one today for my home gym.




Thanks tough

I have that exact machine. Bought it from Dick's Sporting Goods online for like $130, and so far so good. I've had it for about 2 months now, of course, I have only gotten up to about 165 pounds on it, but it has held up. It is a bit flimsy, but for $130, you get what you pay for. But I think it should hold AT LEAST 200 pounds of plates with no problems and of course hopefully more.

Oh fuck i hope it holds a hell of a lot more then that or I'll be doing some welding. 200 lbs isn't shit for me on rows. I can lay on my bench and do endless reps with my 100 lb DB's in each hand. I need heavier DB's. Shit they are a fortune at .59 lb plus tax.

I used to have dumbbells that you could plate load with olympic plates. They could fit 3 x 25s on each side, so you could get them up to 150+ (The DBs were 8 pounds each I believe). You could use 45s or 35s too, but it's kind of akward at that point, although I think I did do that for shrugs once.

I know what he needs for his home gym--synthol!
