T-bar rows

[Doublebase]

I have the t-bar row attachment on my power rack. Like this:

I don't have a handle for my olympic bar. My question is, is it ok to just hold onto the bar for t-bar rows with my hands or do you think I should get a close grip cable attachment or something?

I used this:

It slides over the end of the oly bar and there's a twist-bolt that holds it on.

just interlock your fingers and have at it.

Roger that. Just thought I would check with the experts first. Thanks.

Yeah I saw that. Looked kinda cheap to me. I would have to physically see it. I think it sells for 40$.

I have one. They're very sturdy.

You know you can brace your hand on the opposite knee and do them with one arm. When you do this you can replace each 45 plate with a 25. By doing this you can increase the range of motion at the highest point. At this new highest point you can hold the contraction much more effectively.

Personally I care enough about my joints to never lock me fingers together when lifting weights that are seriously effective for intermediate lifters or beyond.

Ooooh, I like hoglander's suggestion the best!

You could wrap a towel around the bar too and grab the ends.

I like to use a double D handle, or whatever it's called. However, you can just grab the bar.

Personally, I would buy this:

Solid Close Grip Lat Row Cable Attachment Bar H867F - eBay (item 250573695031 end time Mar-03-10 21:58:40 PST)

Buy it now for $25 dollars.

It really depends, yes you could just use ur hands but with an ext. you could use a wider grip, thus hitting a different area of ur back.
