Stop wasting time worrying about barbell rows and get your deadlift up to 500.
By then you'll have your own opinion and you won't have to worry about mine.
I'm using "Option A" from where to start thread... It may may modified a bit from the original Starting Strength routine. Ruckus, should I eliminate them and focus on wide grip pulls instead??mrRuckus said:Rippetoe's routine doesn't have rows in it as he views them as an accessory exercise for intermediates, and even then he doesn't have people do them the way people do them usually as he promotes the use of hip drive for them and starting from the ground.
You're already deviating from the program by doing rows. You're supposed to be doing power cleans.shock said:Kerp I am doing ripptoe's routine... so I am getting my deads in, and I definately feel it in my upper back as I progress in weight. I just didn't know if it would be good to deviate from his workout at all, and switch up the rows.
You haven't read the book, have you? That is not the actual program. The real program calls for 5x3 power cleans, not rows.shock said:OPTION A:
Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Pendlay or Bent Rows (or power cleans)
**2x8 Chin-ups (recommended mainly if doing the cleans)
I didn't realize cleans were the preferred exercise, I was just going by what the routine said.
I guess I'll need to start doing cleans then.
Wouldn't want to travel out of your comfort zone or anything difficult like that.Flyer said:cleans/powercleans are harder to learn/do than rows in general..
the opposite of these statements is true...Flyer said:cleans/powercleans are harder to learn/do than rows in general.. I havnt been to bb.com but it sounds like it's for bodybuilders.
back to the op. crossfit.com has good videos which shows you how to learn cleans.
