Question about “Top 3 Moves For Back Thickness” Youtube Video

[Agustin]

Hi Joe,

In the video you mention T Bar Chest Supported Rows. Are Seal Rows with a barbell a substitute? Is there any difference in terms of profile between these two?

Also, since these free weight rows overload the shortened position, would it be necessary to then do a heavier set on the lengthened range (the first half of the ROM) in order to train the mid traps through their full contractile length?

Thanks.

Best,

Agustin.

Thanks a lot Joe. Regarding rows with a barbell, I’ve noticed that when I perform them I get sore in the brachioradialis muscle area. I’m now doing a low volume approach (per your recommendation) so I currently don’t have any pain/issues, but in the past when I’ve worked with higher volumes, it did gave me a bit of excessive soreness, like that tissue was overworked and not recovering properly, even some slight pain/tenderness. Could this mean that I would have better alignment with a neutral grip bar or a swiss bar? I’ve heard you talk about how some people don’t fit well into full pronation and I was wondering if I was one of those.

Thanks!

Best,

Agustin.
