T-bar rows

[0ni]

How do I calculate the weight lifted for t-bar rows? Do I just count the plates I add to the bar?

Whatever works for you, as long as you use the same method doesn't matter. Its not like T-bar rows are a competition lift.

I use a calculator when it gets past ten

Depends on where the handle is connected on the lever arm in relation to where the weight plate load is applied.

With a big enough lever, one can move the whole world.

Have the trap bars arrived yet?

Have the trap bars arrived yet?

Is this a trick question?

Unfortunately not, but due next week.
Long delays have been experienced.
Current incoming stock all sold to current orders.
More due a few weeks after that.

Why do you need to calculate the weight.........or is this a joke thread.....

I have one on order

I have one on order

Well that's ok then.

I'll just use the weight I add onto the bar then

Personally I use this:

NΣXY - (ΣX)(ΣY) / Sqrt([NΣX2 - (ΣX)2][NΣY2 - (ΣY)2])

The problem clearly is Sqrt is = to Squack 1rm.

You use the Correlation Coefficient? Interesting...

i read somewhere i few weeks ago that the base of a T bar row setup takes around 15% of the load, so you are actually lifting 15% less than what you have loaded on. If you only want to know to track your progress and keep progressing it will be much easier to just write down the weight that you are loading on the machine.

Nobody cares what you t-bar row, just try and remember how many plates you had on it.

The gripping handles are usually in between the fulcrum and load point, so therefore, you wile be exerting more force than the mass of the weight plates, not less.

I would, if he can do 10 strict reps with 10 plates I would be very impressed!

Like this for example -

Yeah it was more for tracking my own progress but I didn't want to seem like an idiot that doesn't include the bar in his squats for example

yes but remember that as you raise the weights more of the weight is transferred down through the base of the machine, and if you are pulling towards your navel to engage your lats you will also be putting more pressure on the base plate.

Why do people always reference their self against Ronnie Coleman? A BODY BUILDER

Would you prefer I posted a different BBer? As Freako said, T-Bar row isn't an official lift in PL, but it's still a great exercise, Let's keep an open mind, not everyone here is purely powerlifting orientated.
