Which row is the best for assisting deadlift and grip strength?

[Johnnie Walker]

Legit 8%

Decent back but way out of proportion to rest of your body! Get a leg pic up

 

[Darkoz]

Yeah my lats and upper back won't grow from doing that, lol

have you considered that they might grow more doing it another way?
And what's with the straps, surely your grip isn't that weak

First of all 0ni, am I seeing right, you're using straps for 50kg one arm rows??
And secondly, there's more body language going on than Marcel Marceau

Thread is entitled what row helps your deadlift.

Doing strict text book rows wont benefit your deadlift as much as high volume/weight/intensity.

 

[Darkoz]

Sorry, I forgot you were the resident expert on deadlifts aswell.

Please tell us what your secret is to achieving a massive deadlift.

The secret is do deadlifts

Back on topic please.

P.S - Big Mick is in here, with us. (to quote The Exorcist)

Here is Pete Rubish doing rows
He has done more than 800lb at 242

What is the meaning of this?

 

[0ni]

Leeman has deadlifted 905lb

 

[Goosey]

0ni is channelling Pete.

0ni, if you want a short career please continue, I write this with love.

 

[Darkoz]

Leeman has deadlifted 905lb

What in holy fuck was that

 

[Darkoz]

....Posts a video of some young punk doing something horrendous to prove what?

 

[0ni]

He deadlifts 905lb
Sorry to disappoint you guys... this is how strong people do their rows

 

[0ni]

Yeah yeah. Keep lifting like that and you'll have a short lifting career.
Still waiting for that to happen. Still waiting to see evidence of that happening.

 

[lkt004]

Do all rows, db kb bb pendlay upright etc. etc. to get a strong deadlift. But nothing makes a strong deadlift like deadlifting.

I should have been more specific, as an assistance for the deadlift, like improving grip strength, upper back strength etc. I was doing farmer's walks, but it's a bit hazardous in my gym. All of the gurus reckon their particular take on the row is best, hence me posing it as a topic of discussion.

Rubish rows would be possibly the fastest and easiest way to get myself chucked out of my commercial gym lol. Not interested in using straps, I like to do all lifting without such aids.

0ni, I'm perplexed, how can you lift what you do yet have such small calves!?

Why do you find doing the kroc style rows to be a ticket to snap city Silverback?

 

[Goosey]

Totes, deadlift makes good deadlift.

 

[Headley]

So did we work out which grip is better?

its not the style, all exercises have their benefits.
its the way they jerk, yank and contort their bodies to move the weight.

But this is not the forum to discuss, some think this is fine.

 

[bozodos]

we've worked out that deadlifting helps deadlift, and the usual discussion of 0ni's steroid use lol

Silverback: yeah well I was curious, because Kroc and Wendler reckon it's fine to use sloppy form to move more weight on that particular movement, but for almost everything else, the importance of good form is stressed.

I don't like using guys who are strong as examples to prove the contrary, as their circumstances (experience, AAS use, luck) are different to the average lifter's.
