Not sure if anyone else chimed in about this but the Yates row is named so because it was popularized by 6 Time Mr Olympia Dorian Yates who after coming in 2nd place in his first Pro Show (the 1990 Night of the Champions) decided the guy who bested him (Momo Bennziza) did so mostly because of his incredible back thickness. In the aftermath Yates made the barbell row a priority but altered the style a bit to where he was standing a bit more upright (about 70 degrees as opposed to the near 90 degrees most BBers were using while rowing) and used an underhand grip. ironically in 1994 Dorian tore his left biceps with that exercise and opted for an overhand grip from then on but with the same 70 degree stance (he also tore the Vastus in his left leg and had a rotator cuff in his left shoulder that year lol not a good year for "The Shadow" but he still won the Olympia!). I have seen pics of people using an EZ Curl bar for underhand rows to take a bit of stress off the biceps. Great vid!
This is a ridiculously useful post! I’m going to try to see if I can pin this one because this is so helpful! Thank you so much for adding to the video! Comments like this are always welcome!
Good to point out BBs focus a lot more on biceps than other people. I'm sure the Yates row is fine 'if' it's not the first exercise (heaviest) and if the biceps are fresh and conditioned. It's fine to use as a first exercise but warm the biceps up first but be sure not to exhaust them. 👌 If someone doesn't have any biceps in their program (not even Chin's) then risk goes up. Also if they have too much biceps (arm day) then sensible programming of the movement is needed, leave a few days after arm day. If you're putting it in as part of a back and biceps day then it could be trouble. Also whether you perform it strict or "with lots of body English" means a lot for the bicep. As mentioned keeping a fixed back at 70 degrees activating the lats should go some way to protecting the bis. Finally the back can improve strength faster than bicep and this is v important... If you go from 80kg to 110kg on Yates rows in a short amount of time then the bicep is at risk as the weak link. 👌👌👌💪💪💪 Yates row is amazing but can be complex to place into a sensible program especially for a beginner 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Damn it I thought I was the only one to use the EZ Curl bar hack ! 😂 I love it way more than regular Yates rows and I’ve done a shit load of them. Dorian was my favorite bodybuilder (after Arnold of course ). I actually saw him guest pose 3 weeks after him winning his 3rd Olympia which was the year he tore his bicep. He was 275lbs and to say it was awe inspiring is a massive understatement. He was so friggen huge and looked about 3 feet thick when he turned to the side. Got an autographed pic, the black and white side tricep one where he’s huge. Anyway he was super friendly. He even talked to a friend of mine for a while about his cardio prep for the local show,he was doing.
I’ve always called the “corner row” a “Tbar Row” you just don’t have the fancy t bar rig lol. Thanks for all these videos man! Started implementing the conditioning aspect you’ve suggested time and time again after my working sets and I can definitely feel the difference the next week in the working sets. I’ve also noticed less back pain do to the volume and the lighter weight! Keep doing what your doing.
I was coming here to say the same about the T-bar rows. Started them in Gold's Gym where they had the t-bar setup and now do them in my basement gym with the more v-shaped handle but still call them T-bar Rows.
That's a lot of stuff I haven't tried yet. Big fan of inverted rows on the rings, especially after deadlifts when my lower back can use a break. I also like alternating dumbbell plank rows, including a bit of torso rotation like in the croc rows you demoed.
I really appreciate you saying things like that. I recorded this at 3 o’clock in the morning and felt like crap about myself so your comment just made my day haha
I screen shot then printed up that " I will do today..." quote and image then taped it up so I see it every day. you will always be my go to for no nonsense just put in the work inspiration. thanks Brian
Rows became my favorite exercise since your videos turned me onto them. I think chest supported dumbbell rows are my favorite variation. They've done great things for my lats.
Another great video! I just wanted to thank you, you’ve influenced my style of working out so much. I use the giant set model and lots of your recommended exercises (carries, front squats, overhead presses, barbell rows), all of your tips in your vids have taken my overall health and strength to new levels.
A great addition, that worked for me is a paused row. Gives me intense mid back activation. Almost all of these here can be done paused, with less weight of course.
I've always thought I was alone with the barbell cheat rows rowing 5plates. Turns out it's called a deadlift row! This thing is amazing for Lumbar power Also I have to agree with some body english with the rows sometimes to load the plates, heavy rows just STACKS thickness on your lats. Just found your channel Brian, you got yourself a new subscriber. Been training for 20 years and good to see some of my own finding validated and learning new things. Keep up the damn good work!!!
Brilliant video Brian. Meadows rows and barbell rows will end up in my program for variety. Spice things up. Might even put gorilla rows in as a finished 👌👌👌
This is a very good idea and it works really well as a loading platform in the every day carry program. If I could pin another comment, you would have gotten it
Previously I practice already a number (about 6) of these above. Nice to learn about other variations. Gives me inspiration to practice some new ones !
On some of the exercises upright rows and inverted underhand grip rows some people say you can get hurt. Also, some people say squats are bad for you too. Thank you for this one, Brian, you did good!!!
I agree Rich but I would still be very careful about lifting heavyweights with your arm super nated because of how many people I’ve seen pop biceps during deadlifts
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial you’re welcome, you’ve helped me a lot with your videos and programs Brian. I was literally at the end of the 4HorsemenII deload and about to run it again...then the EDC came out.
I like it, Brian - thank you for the video! Have you tried gymnastics ring rows at different angles? I saw your rings in this video. You can do one arm and two arm variations. They're especially good if someone has lower back pain. You're a strong guy, so they may not stimulate you enough. However, I've found great back development and strength from spending a few months on the ring rows. Separately, thanks for the minimal program, it's awesome.
That is terrific, but you’re not gonna go very heavy at all. A spinning 2 inch collar is a good way to row 100lbs. If you grab the actual barbell or even strap in, you’re gonna do 2 to 3 times that much weight
Corner Barbell row in any circles I've been in has been the T-bar or v-bar row. I've found if you just cut a tennis ball and put it on like a sock at the end then put it into a corner and kind of push back a little bit you don't have to worry about getting sacked. Ive put 6/7 plates on there with no issues. Looking to do more!
One that you didn’t get but that I really like is the single arm dumbbell row where you are just standing in a normal stance but bent over. You don’t need to go to heavy because it focuses a lot on the rotational strength of your back and core. You stand with your feet not staggered and bend almost to 90 degrees and then row. It’s a great exercise, you should give it a try
if the way I see people do it at my gym gives any indication at all…I would put powercleans as a row variation as well All jokes though, another great video! Planning to run the powerbuilder again soon which I bought a couple years ago already and looking forward to the revised version of that!💪🏼
Two definitions to help. Somewhere on YT there a vid of Glen Pendlay describing the Pendlay Row in detail, with Max Aita as model. I'd argue that a definitive form exists, and that's it. For the Kroc row, I'm fairly sure when Janae Kroc came up with it, it was partly to help their grip, so had no straps (less sure on that one).
I also like Axel Rows for grip strength as well. Which I hereby put forth an unnecessary alternate name of GNRs. Cause like, Grip N' Rows, but also you know, Axl Rose.....
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial since I work out at home and don’t have access to chest supported options, I like it as a bilateral row that doesn’t load the lower back
Much appreciated. We are starting Monday and as we go through the program there were definitely some terms in there that will require your prior video catalog or Google 😂💪🏼💪🏼
Not sure if it's fully within the scope of this video, but those rings made me think of the huge variation of bodyweight rows merging into lever variations. There's a million ways to row!
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial yeah, it’s tough! I think she identified as gender fluid for awhile while she was still contemplating competing as a man, I think it’s Janae now!
Thanks for all the content, it's always appreciated. I was looking through your older videos and I don't think I've heard you mention it but I'm curious as to your thoughts on neck training given your experience with combat sports. Do you think it's entirely unnecessary and superfluous? Do you ever include them in your giant sets or maybe on a separate rest day? Would you recommend bands or plate extensions? Just like you mentioned with upright rows we used to be told to do neck bridges in high school but now everyone seems to think they're the devil. Anyway I don't know if you'll see this or not but I've been following you for several years now, it's really improved my life in so many different ways I couldn't begin to list, so a sincere thank you.
I think as long as you were doing heavy weighted carries then your neck will get enough work without having to do it on its own. I feel similar about neck calves biceps and forearms
They just flip over unless you hold them all the way outside at the collars. Which ends up lowering your range of motion instead of increasing it…unless you are rowing so little weight that you can control The rotation of the bar in your hands
I personally prefer flat sold so that it doesn’t throw off my balance at all but you definitely need something with some cushion if you’re going to be doing heavy yolk walks close to 1000 pounds or you can get compound fractures
I believe Brian Shaw and some of the other top pros use Converse for farmer’s. Big Loz uses walking boots for heavy yolks as they provide some ankle support and aren’t too squishy underfoot.
Top tip If you don't have a landmine attachment for T-bar Row / Corner row Slice a cross in a tennis ball, pop that on the end of your barbell, then jam that into the corner. Saves the wall and your barbell
Your high school gym teacher sounds like my kind of guy! Which explains why you went on to further your fitness career. Sounds like he actually made an impact compared to your social studies teacher hah
They are great for people who have to learn to manipulate their body because it is not a natural movement. You will feel it when you try it but in order to get your back to work, you need to initiate it
I second that, I love giant set training! I’m always dripping with sweat for every workout but it feels great and keeps my athleticism and cardio where it needs to be.
Yes my friend, a lot of them. I have an entire row help playlist in the description. Start there and you’ll be shocked at how much it will change your training
Kinda curious why you didn't include any bodyweight rows, especially those on gymnastic rings. And you can make them ridiculously challenging too by doing rows in any kind of front lever progression that you can hold.
Because I feel like you could make an entire video just about bodyweight rose alone and I consider things like an inverter bro more as a replacement for when people can’t do pull ups for an actual strength or muscle building row
Hey man, just one question: why is the barbell row superior than the weighted inverted row for building upper back muscle mass? I mean, check the video 'Double Bodyweight Inverted Rows' from ben bruno: he's lifting +80 kg weighted rows for 8 reps. This means it's possible to build up to very heavy loads in weighted inverted rows as well, with the advantage of saving the lower back
brian, why would you go heavy on a chin up but not a yates row? you are a big advocate for weighted pull ups and chin ups, so what makes the yates row terrifying? just wondering, i haven’t done them
I’m honestly not sure man, I truly don’t believe most of the science behind weight training but I do know that a lot of people break their biceps when supinating a hand on deadlifts or continental clean and press. I have yet to hear of anyone tearing their bicep on the chin up. But I may just be ignorant on that
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial yeah, i’ve stayed away from yates rows just because of that. i was just wondering what your opinion was! thanks for the reply! i’m excited for the program!
I was always taught seal row as the "Fat man row". Also pestered my trainer about what rows I should be doing and why and what the differences could be as I was starting and they just kept dodging the question. When I saw this vid posted I almost came a little bit. Thanks a lot Brian - Still one of my most valued resources on this strongman journey. Cheers!
@roninverse it is definitely a great traffic exercise as well as a triple extension technique exercise but he is a strong man so I'm not sure if he has ever used it which is probably why he never filmed it
u forgot cable dumbell rows....my name, i invented them..the cable is to the floor, just grab the cable ball/snap link. no handle. ur bent over the same as a dumbell row but u got instant tension on yr back and it works way better than dumbells....unless u got weak hands.

Great list! It reminded me about a few I haven’t done in a while. Another one I LOVE is the inverted row.
Inverted rows are super underrated
Under rated Exercise for sure
Before I had rings, I used two chairs and a 2x4
That's a lot of stuff I haven't tried yet.
Big fan of inverted rows on the rings, especially after deadlifts when my lower back can use a break.
I also like alternating dumbbell plank rows, including a bit of torso rotation like in the croc rows you demoed.
I never really liked DB rows, BUT I implemented your one arm landmine rows and I LOVE THEM!
The single arm landmine rows are the best kept secret in the business
Great video as always. The amount of information in such a short video is amazing.
I really appreciate that my friend! I aim to please haha
Just started E.D.C. this week! Loving it. Work capacity needs some improvement but I will get there.
That is so awesome Cory I hope it goes amazing for you!

I like inverted rose but more so as a replacement for when people can’t do pull-ups.
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial since I work out at home and don’t have access to chest supported options, I like it as a bilateral row that doesn’t load the lower back
That makes a lot of sense

There really are a million ways. I just wish people spent more time rowing than they did pushing because we would have less hunchbacks in the world
No offense to hunchbacks out there, just do some more rows
Hey Brian, love the content and the EDC program! I just wanted to chime in that the Kroc row (no k) was named for Janae Kroczaleski (formerly Matt)
100% I just didn’t know whether to put the name with Matt or Janae… it is a weird world we live in and I’m not good at navigating it, sadly.
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial yeah, it’s tough! I think she identified as gender fluid for awhile while she was still contemplating competing as a man, I think it’s Janae now!
Do you do bodyweight rows?
I personally do not. I stick to pull ups and chin ups and weighted options for the horizontal plane.
Thanks for all the content, it's always appreciated.

7. I have heard it called the "landmine row", the opposite of a landmine press" for your shoulders
If you have to do this seal row how you set it up then use the cambered bar or the Buffalo bar.
They just flip over unless you hold them all the way outside at the collars. Which ends up lowering your range of motion instead of increasing it…unless you are rowing so little weight that you can control The rotation of the bar in your hands
4:08 well imma call this the "Hey i tossed my cookies row" lol bye lunch lol
Hahaha
Baddest man on YT
Thank you my friend!
Ring inverted rows feel great
Yes, I didn’t really want to include bodyweight versions but I program invert Bros all of the time for people who can’t do pull ups
what about the trap bar row?
Respect for showing the meadows Row
A great man and a great row
Great recommendations bro. Appreciate it!
You’ve also given me an idea for a new product, “the sprinkler hat”, available at fine retailers near you😉
I will be the advocate my friend! No one can drop as much water out of their face in an hour as I can!
What shoes could you recommend for farmers carries? And strongman training in general?
I personally prefer flat sold so that it doesn’t throw off my balance at all but you definitely need something with some cushion if you’re going to be doing heavy yolk walks close to 1000 pounds or you can get compound fractures
I believe Brian Shaw and some of the other top pros use Converse for farmer’s. Big Loz uses walking boots for heavy yolks as they provide some ankle support and aren’t too squishy underfoot.
Thoughts on bird dog row?
Do seal rows ever bother your chest or rib cage?
Not if I am braced. But if my core is loose, yep
Top tip
If you don't have a landmine attachment for T-bar Row / Corner row
Slice a cross in a tennis ball, pop that on the end of your barbell, then jam that into the corner. Saves the wall and your barbell
You my friend, are an asset to the channel! Thank you for this!
I think landmine rows are the most straightforward name for these Brian
What do you think of inverted rows?
I think they are great if you can’t do pull ups
Always thought what you described as the corner barbell row was called a t-bar row
My highschool gym teacher called #13 Lawnmower Starts and even though it's not what you'll see in an NASM manual I will never forget that name.
Your high school gym teacher sounds like my kind of guy! Which explains why you went on to further your fitness career. Sounds like he actually made an impact compared to your social studies teacher hah
First comment.. love you coach thanks for sharing
Thank you so much Mo, I really appreciate it!
Gorilla Row - thats a nice one. Never done it before.
They are great for people who have to learn to manipulate their body because it is not a natural movement. You will feel it when you try it but in order to get your back to work, you need to initiate it
Since I‘m following your Giant set training style, theres running exactly as much sweat from my face as it runs from yours😂

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial thanks!!
That's actually great. I feel I only have the hang of maybe three rows.

Rows change the game. Bigger deadlift, bench, strict press and front squat from adding in lots of rows.
I 100% agree Cody
nice
ROW dictionary??! Nice brother.!
I feel like it was needed
Last week I tried this one : pile up a few big plates of 20, 25 kg. You make piramid sets with 20, then 40, then 60 ...bent over and row.
I like it
good ole meadows row
Each row got sweatier and sweatier.
Usually just call corner BB rows Landmine rows
That is fair but a lot of people don’t know what a landline is
Kinda curious why you didn't include any bodyweight rows, especially those on gymnastic rings. And you can make them ridiculously challenging too by doing rows in any kind of front lever progression that you can hold.

Number 7 is called a T-bar row.
I would agree with you if you were using a T-bar handle.
Hey man, just one question: why is the barbell row superior than the weighted inverted row for building upper back muscle mass?
I mean, check the video 'Double Bodyweight Inverted Rows' from ben bruno: he's lifting +80 kg weighted rows for 8 reps. This means it's possible to build up to very heavy loads in weighted inverted rows as well, with the advantage of saving the lower back
+bodyweight/inverted rows?
Yes, i choose to omit bodyweight versions but the upright row is something I program for people all the time if they can’t do pull ups
Your corner row I call the Landmine Row
Soup & Ated Row 👍👉🤟👊
brian, why would you go heavy on a chin up but not a yates row? you are a big advocate for weighted pull ups and chin ups, so what makes the yates row terrifying? just wondering, i haven’t done them
I’m honestly not sure man, I truly don’t believe most of the science behind weight training but I do know that a lot of people break their biceps when supinating a hand on deadlifts or continental clean and press.
I have yet to hear of anyone tearing their bicep on the chin up. But I may just be ignorant on that
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial yeah, i’ve stayed away from yates rows just because of that. i was just wondering what your opinion was! thanks for the reply! i’m excited for the program!
I enjoy Cable Row variations
So do I I just haven’t had access to cable machine for over a decade
I have never seen so many rows…or someone sweat so much. Have at it Brian you Beast.
Aw damn I just finished my back workout. But I did rows with a log cause why not?
Log Rose are legit! I would have included them if it was normal Gym equipment
bro how do u sweat that much
Upright rows are better on cable machine for less injury/pain risk.
I guess I always call the "corner row" a "landmine row".
Damn it must be hot to bust out the sweat bands
I was always taught seal row as the "Fat man row". Also pestered my trainer about what rows I should be doing and why and what the differences could be as I was starting and they just kept dodging the question. When I saw this vid posted I almost came a little bit. Thanks a lot Brian - Still one of my most valued resources on this strongman journey. Cheers!
Then what's a Landmine Row?
7 is a landmine row cause you’re doing it on a landmine attachment. T bar row is with an actual tbar.
I would say that this is the most logical explanation I’ve seen yet
Glenn Pendlay teaching the Pendlay row:

Skip the upright row, just do a high pull and get a great shoulder and trap pump
That’s a good point, I would say high pull is far superior to an upright row
@roninverse it is definitely a great traffic exercise as well as a triple extension technique exercise but he is a strong man so I'm not sure if he has ever used it which is probably why he never filmed it
u forgot cable dumbell rows....my name, i invented them..the cable is to the floor, just grab the cable ball/snap link. no handle. ur bent over the same as a dumbell row but u got instant tension on yr back and it works way better than dumbells....unless u got weak hands.
Sooo single arm cable rows?
Every day carry eh? Interesting
t bar row?
I would agree if I had a t bar attachment
It's kind of hard to pay attention when there's pretty girl in the background 😆 awesome video! Good info. 👍
