listen young kids. Do not attempt this form at all! Arnold had great flextion with his spine and it was beneficial for his gains. Not everyone can perform the exercise that way, just use the proper form until you build enough strength and maybe give that form a try in future years, but never as a beginner.
bodybuilder718 ive been working out for less than a year and i love to do rows this way. u get the full stretch and flex. just cause u dont like doing it this way doesnt mean it wont work for other people.
There were no headphones like we have today, only earphones back then... and the sound quality was horrible. Joe Gold did not allow any music either. I believe you can concentrate better without music.
All that shit is just distractions... well not the shoes obviously haha. But youd be alarmed if someone was keeping track of just how much time you actually wasted messing around with your headphones and their cellphone/music device instead of using your time effectively.
sergeantbigmac One can concentrate and meditate much better without music. In fact you get into what can best be described as “ the zone” when you don’t listen to music. Unfortunately my gym plays the worst music so I have no choice but to cancel it out with my music.
Yeah it would suck just hearing weight slamming and dudes going “uhhhhh” plus it’s more comfortable grunting when there’s some background noise rather than silence
“In the 70s” - like you need a 5G connection to do this? If anything, weight training was and is a great activity precisely because it’s disconnected from all the tools and tech that comes and goes. It’s just you versus gravity. It’s timeless.

Doesn't matter about the steroids. It's a common misconception that people have about juice. Just because someone takes juice, doesn't mean that's all the gains are attributed too. Without heavy training and a clean diet, juice is useless. IFBB pros work their asses off esp the ones who juice.
Now you talking. It's obvious that he is not rowing. Those are his CrossFit exercises just before contests. He is burning all kinds of fat with them total body movements👍
Done this exact style since I was 13 yrs old and still do at 54 yrs - NEVER had any back issues, in fact I've never suffered an injury during training EVER.
Sometimes, people have really weird body shapes that, no matter what exercise they do, a certain body part gets worked. I have massive glutes for a dude and I don't really work them at all, beside from reverse hypers. I could do chest supported rows and somehow still feel it in my glutes. It's just like that for some of us.
Without Arnold, this exercise wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is. This (chest supported) is probably my favourite exercise that Arnold has popularized.
I do this and my lats develop all the way to my lower back.. it strengthen my weak lower back as well.. been doin it from lighter weight from start and once i got the core strength i went for heavier weight.. now after years no more stupid back pain lol
This is what bodybuilding was and is all about, training the mind and thr muscle. Nowadays it seems the bodybuilders sit in futuristic machines that isolate and simulate individual muscle groups and not really about taking the body to the limit as a whole.
This is why Arnold is different from every single person on the planet ... no one had and no one going to have back like him. Anyone will end up breaking spine with this form. Arnold has very very extraordinary n incredible genetics and quality. The one and only King of Bodybuilding.

He has full mind muscle control and thereby his body is trained well enough to do this. Most people better don't do this because they just simply would not be able to keep the tension on the muscles, but put it on the joints& ligaments as well, which can cause injury.
@ dont be stupid! He's actually doing that exercise quite well. It's supposed to be rhythmic and works the muscles very well when done this way. The form police can be totally ridiculous...
To everyone criticising his form just take a look at the form of most pros. Its almost never strict and in many cases would actually be considered loose. And in Arnold's case in this video, even if it is 'bad form' it clearly worked for him. Everyone's bio mechanics are different.

Bent over rows, T-Bar Rows are not easy to do and the harder an exercise is the more benefits it provides as you master it. Some Machines make fundamental exercises easier and does not provide the same benefit if the body was made to work harder.
Lmao. I keep my lower back straight just bending the upper back and that just wont stop the lower back from suffering. Thinking of performing arnold's form make me feel even more painful....
Form and the art of bodybuilding has improved over the years. Totally pointless to comment on Arnold's form from the early 70's. This is what we knew back then.
He destroyed his lower back Look at photos of him in the present, look how he stands. Rounded lower back because of pain, knees a bit flexed to get back the equilibrium, he herniated that L4 or L5 disc if not both with all his fucked up exercises. So maybe, at that time, with all he took (PED's) and his genetic (foundation like you say) it may have been worth for him and his physique at his prime (that's right the way he rows give an insane stretching tension on the lats that is beneficial for their hypertrophy) but in the end he had to face the truth : training with round lower back always fucks you up
Yeah you're right even I saw wsm's doing deadlift 400 with round back and their lower back is insanely strong that they didn't get hurt But seeing Eddie lifting half tonn with perfect form is just inhuman brutality
He has been an inspiration for other bodybuilders for years...and a youth icon and a superstar.....all these years of his life.he has lived his life to the fullest that others only pine for......
+James James: It makes sense that in medical field, the best method could be absolete with time. This is true pretty much in any field where science, technology, and innovation is at play. But, can you explain how such absoletion is relevant to bodybuilding, and particularly in this video?
phil kelly Are you saying that somehow we've reached the pinnacle of some zeitgeist for bodybuilding?? If you are, then you should also know that zeitgeists are generally followed by breakthroughs in those areas of belief. Either way, Bodybuilding DOES involve science, technology, and innovation. How have we come to know anything about the body? Well, through science, technology, and innovation. And what is bodybuilding about? Yes, the body. We still don't know everything there is to know in regards to the body and so there are still improvements that can be made regarding the body and muscle growth. And absoletion isn't a word. Thanks for your reply.
yes this is a difficult form , best thing is to start with light weight and get used to it. The key thing is like ''Arnold said in a interview, is to relax your back and chest on the way down ,and when lifting the weight up keeping the back straight, gets you full range of motion but also its quite tough. Old school bodybuilders trained back with full range of motion same with barbell bent over row
@@Account2129 you are comparing two different exercises, the reason he is doing tbar row this way is for getting full range of motion watch other clips of arnold doing bent over barbell row
For those who dont know, back than a rounded back was recommended! In fact you can find several pictures of Arnold and others from his era doing this and other exercises with a well rounded back. It was only years later that a straight, neutral back started to be recommended for these kinds of exercises.
Yep and the oldschool was right, for optimal spine health you need to do some form of exercise to train the spinal erectors dynamically and make the body build stronger connective tissues like the ligaments and even spinal discs(yes the discs get stronger from exercise).
The thing about trying to do exercises like these elite bodybuilders, is everybody is built differently, with various limb lengths, leverages, and levels of flexibility. You performing a row exactly like Arnold may result in you getting hurt, or not getting ideal muscle activation, despite this working well for Arnold
This is how you get ideal muscle activation in all your back muscles, but you have to start with very low weights and slowly work yourself upwards over many training sessions if you've never done these or trained your spine dynamically. Originally rows got their name from the fact that you tried to imitate the same motion you do when rowing a boat, and that is typically always done with a flexed spine which you extend all the way back each time you row.
I bet they were making a LOT of money for a while though. That owner did get some good interviews/info from Arnold too, plus these rare Pumping Iron outtakes.
@@user_harddrive he's literally a conservative. If you feel attacked to this level by something he stands against and resort to that you're just an asshole with a guilty conscience.
@@user_harddrive He's was a republican governor, so your 'woke liberal' bs comment doesn't even apply here. Arnold respects the sport of strength and muscle building, he's not going to put up with supplement companies lying to him and his followers about what's in their product. And if he's really an icon, like YOU said, then maybe YOU should be following his example.
@@tonynunez1352 "He's was a republican governor" nice grammar moron. Notice how you said "was"... he's a fucking liberal now. Just like Mitt Romney, John McCain, etc.
No music, no flashy gear, no protein drink in hand...just focus. Every second he spent in the gym was focused entirely on sculpting his body to perfection.
Almost all so called trainers that have not seriously trained themselves, will tell you not to do your rows like that. The same with seated rows. All they want you to do is sit there and move your arms. Of course they don't have lats like the old timers did either. Old school has a lot going for it. I have been lucky enough to see many champion bodybuilders train and they don't train like they teach trainers in school.
Not necessarily. There is such thing as the greats or legendary people. Michael Jordan has been retired for some time now but he's still regarded as one of the best if not the best regardless of others who have come after him.
12 reps? Is he trying to lose weight? Gotta increase the weight and keep the reps at 4-8 if you can do 3 sets of 10 increase the weight This guy has potential but he has a lot of learning to do
this comment is beyond stupid 💀 so if you wear shoes, use gloves to protect your hands and listen to music while minding your own business makes you less of a man now? Foh.
I tried doing t-bar row recently on a similar machine and instantly remembered this video. The way the machine is made makes it extremely difficult to get a good angle going without arching the back. Especially in Arnold's case where he is repping like 6 plates on the machine.

phil kelly Are you saying that somehow we've reached the pinnacle of some zeitgeist for bodybuilding?? If you are, then you should also know that zeitgeists are generally followed by breakthroughs in those areas of belief. Either way, Bodybuilding DOES involve science, technology, and innovation.
How have we come to know anything about the body? Well, through science, technology, and innovation. And what is bodybuilding about? Yes, the body. We still don't know everything there is to know in regards to the body and so there are still improvements that can be made regarding the body and muscle growth.
And absoletion isn't a word.
Thanks for your reply.
The physiques of this era were so much better. Modern day is just overkill and grotesque
Look at those massive arms! Huge low lats! 💪💪👍
Nobody has, or ever will, come close to Arnold's physique.
It take years to refine your form and techniques, the people moaning about his form have a lot to learn about themselves.
Changing the shape of your spine under load will damage your back. Just because he is an authority on bodybuilding doesn't mean he cannot do wrong
yes this is a difficult form , best thing is to start with light weight and get used to it. The key thing is like ''Arnold said in a interview, is to relax your back and chest on the way down ,and when lifting the weight up keeping the back straight, gets you full range of motion but also its quite tough. Old school bodybuilders trained back with full range of motion same with barbell bent over row
@@Account2129 well then his spine and other school bodybuilders spine should have broken spine
@@smaounique If doing this is ok for this exercise then why dont you Squat with a rounded back?
@@Account2129 you are comparing two different exercises, the reason he is doing tbar row this way is for getting full range of motion watch other clips of arnold doing bent over barbell row
For those who dont know, back than a rounded back was recommended! In fact you can find several pictures of Arnold and others from his era doing this and other exercises with a well rounded back. It was only years later that a straight, neutral back started to be recommended for these kinds of exercises.
Theres no such thing as straight and neutral.
@@matthewbentley3122 Form is a spectrum.
Yep and the oldschool was right, for optimal spine health you need to do some form of exercise to train the spinal erectors dynamically and make the body build stronger connective tissues like the ligaments and even spinal discs(yes the discs get stronger from exercise).
He still does these at 74 with a few plates. Obviously they do not cause degeneration if the range and weight is right
My back is hurting just by watching this
Damn, my back hurts watching him do this. What a beast!
I love T bar rows. I like doing that more than lat pull downs for some reason, it just feels more engaged
The thing about trying to do exercises like these elite bodybuilders, is everybody is built differently, with various limb lengths, leverages, and levels of flexibility. You performing a row exactly like Arnold may result in you getting hurt, or not getting ideal muscle activation, despite this working well for Arnold
This is how you get ideal muscle activation in all your back muscles, but you have to start with very low weights and slowly work yourself upwards over many training sessions if you've never done these or trained your spine dynamically. Originally rows got their name from the fact that you tried to imitate the same motion you do when rowing a boat, and that is typically always done with a flexed spine which you extend all the way back each time you row.
I love that he’s lifting barefooted
Hey musclepharm, how does it feel to be dropped by Arnold after discovering you were lying about what's in your product?
I bet they were making a LOT of money for a while though. That owner did get some good interviews/info from Arnold too, plus these rare Pumping Iron outtakes.
@No Go Shame how an icon became such a woke liberal.
@@user_harddrive he's literally a conservative. If you feel attacked to this level by something he stands against and resort to that you're just an asshole with a guilty conscience.
@@user_harddrive He's was a republican governor, so your 'woke liberal' bs comment doesn't even apply here. Arnold respects the sport of strength and muscle building, he's not going to put up with supplement companies lying to him and his followers about what's in their product.
And if he's really an icon, like YOU said, then maybe YOU should be following his example.
@@tonynunez1352 "He's was a republican governor" nice grammar moron. Notice how you said "was"... he's a fucking liberal now. Just like Mitt Romney, John McCain, etc.
0:45 that kid got to see Arnold becoming a legend in person.
RIP Franco Columbu.you are the greatest and will be missed
12 reps with such a heavy load... only Arnie
I did this and the results are amazing thank you Arnold
even the last place of these classic olympias has far superior physique than any of the modern mr. o's..... period!
SwampySack complete bullshit .. the dudes placing last in Arnolds day looked natty AF
Old school gym were something else, hearing the sounds of metal plates banging against each other does something to the senses.
No music, no flashy gear, no protein drink in hand...just focus. Every second he spent in the gym was focused entirely on sculpting his body to perfection.
I injured my lower back watching this.
Weak
LMAO to all the people trying to critique ARNOLD'S form
Appeal to authority
Almost all so called trainers that have not seriously trained themselves, will tell you not to do your rows like that. The same with seated rows. All they want you to do is sit there and move your arms. Of course they don't have lats like the old timers did either. Old school has a lot going for it. I have been lucky enough to see many champion bodybuilders train and they don't train like they teach trainers in school.
Instructer's "come on" word is actually very helpful.
I LOVE THIS VARIATION OF THE ROWS BEST FOR OVERALL THICKNESS AND LOWER LATS AND XMAS TREE!!!
Never mind it is a wrong or correct form all it's like "mind muscle connection"
Nossa show de bola cara do tempo difíceis era tudo na raça,hj quase tudo na mão 💪🙏borá lá
R.I.P. Rich 5%er Piana @ 46 years of age.
My back is hurting since i've watched this.
In Arnold we trust
40 years after his last contest, Arnold is still the most popular figure in bodybuilding. Proof that the sport is dying.
Not necessarily. There is such thing as the greats or legendary people. Michael Jordan has been retired for some time now but he's still regarded as one of the best if not the best regardless of others who have come after him.
12 reps?
Is he trying to lose weight?
Gotta increase the weight and keep the reps at 4-8 if you can do 3 sets of 10 increase the weight
This guy has potential but he has a lot of learning to do
Back when men lifted like men. Bare foot, no head phones, ear buds, gloves. Just savage lifting.
Nude.
I need earbuds to drown out the awful music playing on the loud speakers, else I wouldn't be able to set foot in a gym.
this comment is beyond stupid 💀 so if you wear shoes, use gloves to protect your hands and listen to music while minding your own business makes you less of a man now? Foh.
@@bshaun true and I think I also need to switch to earbuds because the wires sometimes get in the way.
@@hoebihoebi2536 protect your hands 🤣 do you apply moisturiser daily?
I tried doing t-bar row recently on a similar machine and instantly remembered this video.
The way the machine is made makes it extremely difficult to get a good angle going without arching the back. Especially in Arnold's case where he is repping like 6 plates on the machine.
Man..Arnold's time has the best forms of bodybuilders. Like if you agree.💯💯💯💯
