The bench, deadlift and squat get all kinds of attention when it comes to building mass and power…

But there’s another player in town… the bent over row.

For some reason, rowing exercises tend to get overlooked when the topic of ‘power movements’ comes up…

It’s too bad because the muscles involved in rowing movements can be built up to handle enormous weights.

There are guys out there, like Reg Park and Bud Jeffries, who can handle 400 lbs and 500 lbs in the bent over row.

No, their form isn’t picture perfect, but boy o boy does it ever work you hard

Best of all, if you stick with it, your form will tighten up as your strength increases.

These ‘cheating’ rows will help you build lats like bat wings, boa constrictor thick lumbars, and bowling ball biceps.

The trick is to use a little leg drive to help get the weight moving.

It’s important to be thoroughly warmed up. You don’t want to injure a bicep or your lower back.

You’ll be surprised at how much weight you can handle once you get some practice.

Just be sure to give yourself time to get used to the exercise, and to allow your muscles to adapt to the increased weight.

From there, you simply…

Row heavy, use a little leg drive if need be, be conscious of your lower back, so you don’t injure it, and hammer away

Have fun, and get ready to outgrow you shirts…
