Back Training Subs

[Anonymous]

Hi Joe/Bruce,

I have a lower back injury and don’t feel comfortable with movements such as barbell/tbar row. My gym doesn’t have a supported tbar row, only back machines available are hammer strength row with wide and narrow grips, Seated cable row, single pulley lat pulldown, and dual pulley cable station

Do you have other movements I can sub for upper and lower lat focus, would a Prone dumbell row elbows flared be a sub for supported tbar row?

Thanks

[Joe]

Hey Joe thanks, Prone DB Row and the wide grip Pronated on the hammer strength row are good, Cable single arm pulldown is cool, another option for lats – would u say the one arm hammer row stepped back behind the machine is an option or is it a poor profile? P.s. sorry about the spelling mistake – Bruce not bryce

[Joe]

Yes. Also a good option
