How to Perform the Bent-Over Barbell

[stronglifts]

Well it started off as a joke though i did have the issue yesterday doing them for the first time...

i came home and looked at more videos of it being done and realized i wasn't doing them exactly right. I was more pulling the handle(rope) up to about shoulder height, which would make the cord go up into my groin, rather than leaving the rope down low like in this video:

-- i go further down and back than that though.

So i was turning the thing into an arm exercise at the end too...

Still kicked the sh1t out of my glutes and hamstrings, though... I'm really trying to do a lot of lower back, hamstring, hip builders lately to help with my squat and deadlift sticking points.

Lol, you were serious

To tell you the truth, I don't have a pully machine in my home gym, so I couldn't really help you at this moment

But yeah it's a good exercise. Some other exercises that are good for the posterior chain:
* power cleans /snatch (i know)
* glute ham raises
* reverse hyperextensions
* romanian deadlifts
* etc

You already knew that of course, it can always help somebody else reading the topic.

Just to show you that it's all about calories. I'm muscular, but if you don't eat more, you won't grow bigger.
