He rows what I deadlift....
I've just been at it longer man!
Deondre Clark he rows MORE than i deadlift
Like I said man, I've just been doing this for a couple of decades, you will get there!
He BENCHES my deadlift PR for reps
same ..
It's been so long since I first watched this video. I can now say that I do in fact row as much weight as I bench. (315 for 8 for both) It sounded impossible when I first watched this video and now I know it's possible. Cheers mate.
this guy is legit... subscribed...omar isaf sent me here...it was worth the watch.
Thanks so much brother!
This guy is totally right about rows helping bench. Having big lats helps drive the weight up. It wasn't until I started doing a solid deadlift /back routine that I saw a stronger bench/push press. Great videos.
row as much as i bench??you sir have just changed the way i train.👍
No reason to believe that they have to be the same number or even in the same ballpark. They're different muscle groups that are trained at different angles. It's kind of arbitrary to say that
I shall start rowing now
Just don't overload and hurt yourself bro.
If you bench 315 and cant row 200 then you have muscle i balance, but some can suck in bench so its not always the same.
@Nathan I don’t understand how one could bench a ton but row way less. Their bench form must be terrible
Any man who's a friend of rows is a friend of mine. Great vid!
Binge watching these videos. So much useful and practical information. I am a newbie to this type of training at age 46 and trying to modify the programming that I am using to incorporate more of your tips. Wish I was still in MD! Keep it going.
Thank you so much John I really appreciate that!
Such a great video. Barbell rows probably contribute to more overall hypertrophy than benching, as the back takes up more of your upper body. It’s a shame people in the gym don’t realize the power of this movement.
Revisited this video after 5 years. Opposing muscle groups and heavy rows are my mainstay and I couldn't remember why until this showed up on my feed.
You have a Brazilian Flag at your gym, cool! I love watching your videos here in Brazil.
I noticed that brian has personalized programs for sale available on his website and made the purchase today. the price made me hesitate for a bit but boy, was it worth it. I just got it today and it's the perfect mix of strength & conditioning with a huge variety. if you' want to support this guy's work i seriously encourage you to go ahead and purchase one.
Man, thank you so much for that awesome review brother! It really does mean more than you know!
IlovelouisDTV You cant say the program is worth it because you just fucking bought it. Try it first, run it for a year and see if the progress and gains were worth it. Thats like buying a pizza from a new pizza place and sayig its the best pizza sin the world before even eating a slice.
So how is it a year later?
How was it v
How was the program after 4 years?
Love this video. I haven't been able to bench lately because of shoulder issues, so I've just been rowing like a madman. Went from barely being able to do 155x5 to doing 2 sets of 5 at 215 within just a few months. Rows are the TRUTH.
Seal of approval from Alan Thrall equals a new subscriber for you. Nice videos and thanks for the excellent content!
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel!
Thanks brother and I will get back to your email!
That's awesome man, thanks for checking it out!
CHERNOBYL STUDIOS here through Alan too.
Thanks for checking it out man!
I know this is one of your older posts, but I had to comment. I've been doing rows like you suggested (for a few weeks) and I can't believe how much they've improved (i also believe they have contributed to a better deadlift too). I wish I watched this years ago. We are lucky you decided to start sharing your knowledge!!! Thank you!!!!
I'm going to use this to justify adding my favorite lift (barbell rows) into my training even when it's not programmed.
I do them or pull-ups virtually every workout man. Can't have a strong enough back!
looking back at the old videos I seriously think you are world class level athlete, i wish more popular athletes could help you get more audiences.
I love your openness on technique here. I love throwing in ab exercises in between for rest, instead of doing it all at the end. I will say that I use straps for almost everything after a double-wrist injury that I've never recovered from.
I love your training mentality!
Thanks so much Tyler!
Love this channel! Awesome to see fitness channels that just give clean straightforward no nonsense tips and advice. Too many channels want to over complicate this stuff.
The barbell row is one of my favorite back exercises and one of my favorite exercises of all.
best rowa on youtube..405 perfect form
Just found your channel a few days ago I'm only 4 months into my lifting journey and I'm not very strong in any of my lifts and I feel like your videos are gonna help me so much. So glad I found this channel. I wish I could have a personal coach like you. I have no workout partner so I'm having to lift what I know I wont drop on my face or crumble under. So these tips could actually save my life lol
I liked the detail about reseting the position to breathe and brace.
I found that once I figured out how to mentally take my arms out of the exercise by just "pulling with the elbows". Really helped me
Great cue man, thanks for adding!
How am I only just finding this guy?! Some great content on this channel.
Just starting lifting regularly and super glad I found your videos! Every video I've seen has made me think more critically about what I'm doing in the gym. Thanks for the great content!
One of the hidden diamonds in the fitness industry. Thank you for making very informative vids brian.
Brian, will add these to my workout. Have a tendency to focus on machines or one arm rows and neglect the fundamentals. You also helped me on using the Safety Bar. Watched that video several times. Can't do squats with a barbell anymore. 82 year old shoulders don't fit.
for years i have always trained a body part a day and I am beginning to tire of it. i think it's time to switch it up. great channel u gained a sub... more rows needed 👊👊👊...
Outstanding video Brian. Keep up the good work. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks for watching it man and for the kind words!
95 lbs... wow that nailed it right on the spot lol Definitely felt like I could do more.
Hahaha it will get better man
ya dude im going to take this advice to heart when i keep my back parallel to the floor (or as close to it as possible) i get pain in my lower back which i got from lifting heavy things in the past. I'm going to add more weight on the barbell, angle more upright, and throw in my body more instead of being a perfectionist on form
Thanks for the knowledge sir, I've never directly trained the back of my body so much room for growth!!!!!!!
best barbell row instructional video i could find
This is the best video I've ever seen. I row as often as I can. I've yet to see a guy in my gym outrow me. I have a feeling that I'm going to be out doing my soon to be admirers on every lift.
Brian you are by far my favorite RUclips channel about fitness. Love the personality and the great tips. Keep it up
Listen to this man; priotising rows was a game changer for me. Bench no longer fucks with my shoulders despite having problems with it for years.
Great video. In this modern desk sitting world we live in people underestimate the need for balance between pushes and pulls. I try to make sure my working weight for rows even exceeds my presses. You've got yourself another subscriber!
Thanks man and I totally agree!
Thank you! I had shoulder issues in the past and since then I included rowing excersises between every set of horizontal pressing as a precaution. But although I never had any pain since then I felt a little unsure about it because I never saw anyone else do this. So thanks for validation and all the other usefull insights!
You got it man! I think it definitely helps fix most people's shoulder issues. i really appreciate the kind words!
Took this in Much Consideration and it has help my bench alot keeping my Bent over roll on the same level as my bench yesterday rolled 365 both over hands bare for a PR of 3 seperate reps. I like the test of trusting the thumb to stay tight to pull that bar all hands towards me. Thanks for this video because i never throught of rolls as of this untell i learned from you!
That is awesome man, i am so glad it was helpful!
this reminds me of something that vouches for the advice too.
my bench stalled for months, I started doing high clean pulls before benching and it started going up again and reps were generally more comfortable
Absolutely man and your shoulders will thank you for doing so!
Rows strengthen the entire back, shoulder girdle. No better lift than the barbell row.
damian Uhh, Clean and *Push Press
Deadlift
damian Concentration Curls
Toe raises
Single leg pistol squats on a bosu ball
I totally agree with this philosophy. I have always matched my bench press working sets with pendlay rows
I just now realized that I sort of do "giant sets" myself. All I need to do is throw in a core exercise. Good videos dude, you have some interesting training ideas.
Thanks man, i really appreciate that!
Rows and Bench alternating= Excellent results and my shoulder pain has been significantly improved
First video I see from your channel and I told my self: " I gotta follow this guy" You have great material and I like you're not like other lifters channels that all they show is where they went shopping or where they took their girl out, you on the other hand take your channel and content seriously, thanks for taking the time to show and teach some great tips on how to improve our main lifts!!!
Man that is an awesome thing to say and I thank you for it!
Instantly subbed.
Thanks for doing that man!
Hi Brain
Thanks mate just started doing back and chest together first time ever, all I can say is I have no more shoulder pain,I am lifting more getting back into it at 68 you have helped and I thank you keep it going all the best for your future regards Greg
Mr Brian everything aside,what i really appreciate is your replying honestly to most of commenters or subscribers.how do you do that after all that heavy lifting!.you are a very nice guy.may waheguru bless you!
Thanks so much man, i really appreciate you saying that!
One of the few good RUclipsrs for actual strength training info and not isolation garbage
So much to learn here, even seeing it again a year later.
Loving your channel, Alan Thrall sent me here.
Thanks so much Christopher!
I love this philosophy I will work toward balancing my rows with my bench press
I really needed to hear that from a strong guy. I was too worried about keeping strict perfect form.
Straps on rows actually let me engage my late better, same goes for hook grips, if you dont think about crushing the bar you take a little stress off the biceps I believe, BTW I'm new to the channel, you got a new sub
Killer content! I'm glad Thrall sent us your way!
Since you're so jacked, I got a bit of a mass building question. I've been working my pull ups and rows a lot more lately, but most of the mass I've gained seems to go more towards thickness around the erectors and traps instead of lat width. Is there anything I can do to dial my pulls in so I get more width development instead of thickness?
Keep up the good work man, can't wait to see this channel grow.
Thanks brother! I am no expert on Bodybuilding at all, but for me personally, I know I have found that for thickness, Rows and Deadlifts are the way to go. For widening you back, I think vertical Pulling movements work better. For me that is weighted pull-ups, of some it is lat pull downs. Like I said, I am no expert, but that is what has seemed to work for me!
have always rowed more than I bench. not sure if my bench is shit or my row is great, but yeah
Great back and bad chest
Same but I know for a fact that my bench is shit. Always has been that way. The only reason I got into lifting was because I failed to bench the bar in front of a hot girl back in freshman year.
More ppl should follow this guy
This video was a game changer for me. Thanks, Brian!
I just wanna say you have a great attitude about lifting. And I love the point you made about using a little bit of body English on barbell rows. For me with heavy weight it can be really challenging to keep strict form. I thank you for what you said, really encouraging!
Thank you so much! i am glad that it helped!
Found your channel after watching your video at Alan Thrall's channel.
I have now subscribed and watched quite a few of your videos. I've already found many tips/opinions that are quite new to me, even though I follow several of the more mainstream powerlifting channels.
I'll be sure to watch the rest of all your videos throughout the next few day.
Amazing content. I'm sure your views will go through the roof with a bit more visibility. Wish all the best to you and your channel.
Thank you so much brother, i really appreciate that and am glad you are finding it helpful!
Great video with simple but clear explanation.
love this channel mate! rows are something I haven't done in years, time to bring them back!
Hi Brian, great video. Also, Nice to see how far your videos have come in terms of production since 2016. Top stuff big man.
Just found your channel and subbed. The best surprise for me was to see you're in Westminster. I live in Howard Co. I definitively will pay your gym a visit. I had a severe back injury in Jan this year and subsequent back surgery in April. Recovering slowly and back into lifting. Keep up the excellent work brother!
Yea man, i feel you. I have broken mine twice myself. Take your time with it but whenever you want to stop by just email me and we will make it happen!
Brian Alsruhe thanks man, I'll definitively will, Rob
Always disliked barbell rows until I watched one of your videos and that restored the importance of doing them. Next goal is to match my barbell rows to my bench!
Totally agree! I consider barbell rows 2nd only to dead's for back.
Great work!
Thank you my friend
Barbell rows and bench press, gonna give it a try. Thanks
Sure thing man!
Thanks for all the knowledge you share; I've finally noticing gains in my bench press after taking your advice.
jaime cubias I get the sneaking suspicion that you're not pulling it all with your rear delts... as long as you're not doing some sort of bent over jump squat you're probably making gainx
Right now for me at 57, most of the energy of this is in keeping my shoulders wide, back and packed and my core braced and full of air, until those two things become second nature, not worried about the weight at all.
Personally I always make sure my back can out-perform my chest. Bench 300lbs for 15reps? Gotta Row 325lbs for 20reps.
I 100% agree brother!
Brian Alsruhe you mentioned that a weaker row than bench can lead to shoulder issues, what about the opposite? I row 260x5 and bench 190x5.
I can't see how that would lead to an injury. Having a stronger back and a stronger rear delt is always good. And tbh it only makes sense for a row to be stronger than a benchpress, I mean you're using your lats, your rhomboids, your traps, your rear delt and your biceps compared to your chest, your triceps and your front delt. That's a lot more muscle used in the row.
Dieser Typ if you're benching properly you'll be using more muscles than that. I still agree you should row more than you bench though.
kiddkaos1 Well I did forget the legs but other than that I don't see any other movers for the bench, sure you will be using other muscles (lats, core etc) to give yourself a stable base but not to actually move the weight.
"too boring for my puppy brain" Classic! Gotta steal it. Thank you.
"What is better, a decline bench, or an incline bench, or a flatbell bench, or a dumbbell bench.... yes"Straight forward response for straight forward gains.
Depends on your goals and where your weak points are. It is not as simple as one is better than the other. They are just different. And different things work for different people. But out of your choices, for my goals and weak points. I would say incline
Copy that.
I put this to the test last night. SUCCESS!
Hahahah Yes!
Fucking hell this okes is big! Thanks for the vids Brian, I for one appreciate to jumping to demonstration part, no bullshit approach and being straight.
You my friend are a very strong individual. Over from Allen's channel. Subscribed. Keep it up!!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for checking out my videos!
great video,great channel,great strength,great body. I frequently see your video and study your tips and proper form and how to excersice. -from south korea-
That's awesome man thanks for watching!
Great point about working in abs. I hate doing them all at the end
Hi Brian! You’re my new favorite fitness channel!
Hello Brian,
You talked about doing antagonistic muscle group for bench and overhead press but what about an antagonistic movement for deadlifts and squat? Like others have said, you and Allan are bringing back faith to youtubers! Thanks for the good videos!
Thanks for your time
Thanks man and i try to do some sort of explosive movement prior to a dead or squat that mimics the motion. So something like KB swings, or Dimel Deads or Burppee lateral jumps prior to deads and some sort of box jump or long jump prior to squatting. All of this is just to get my hips moving as explosively as possible.
Couldn't agree more. My opinion (worth about the cost of this text) barbell rows should be considered as important as squats, deadlifts, bench, and press ...not just an accessory exercise.
I totally agree. They help everything but most beginner lifters don't take them that seriously
I was about to type what was your thought regarding the use of a little bit of momentum, but you answered it already lol.
Thanks for the video!
Hahaha glad it helped brother
Strong rows Brian, don't see 405 been rowed that easily nowadays. And i felt quite proud at rowing 315 with quite alot of body english. Btw not sure if you addresed this but in your preperation for Marylands strongest man have you made any changes to your training? Might be interesting to make video about how to prepare for a strongman competition or for most events. Good content as always
Thank you so much! And yes, my training is actually completely changed with my Maryland's Strongest prep. I'll be explaining it more as I go along, but next week I plan on releasing a video explains basic strongman programming. It is all taped and edited, but won't be out until next week because there are some cool things about to happen. It should clear a lot of things up.
Awesome, i'll look foward to it
Brother Allen Thrall brought me to your page... love the way you keep it simple... say hello to a new subscriber... keep up the good work...
That is awesome thank thanks for subscribing!
This helped me out greatly, I was over complicating this exercise
Thanks, Brian you teach me something that I love ❤️
You sir are the Man! Solid advice mate thanks heaps.
Rows will make your bench bigger and there crucial for support in almost everything.
Got it..Question from other videos answered right here.. thanks for the solid content
great video, I do the starting strength barbell row, and the weight went up really quickly, I've always been able to row more than I can bench
This dude is my favorite hands down.
I actually workout like this people called me stupid bc I was wasting energy... it's nice to see someone at a high level doing it!
You are not stupid man, you are just ahead of the curve!
Brian Alsruhe wow you replied thank you man!!
I try to answer all comments man, I appreciate it when people do it for me, so i try to pay that forward
Brian Alsruhe that's definitely going to get you more subs man plus your strength is remarkable!
Thanks man, i really appreciate that!
thos are some of the BEST barbell rows I've seen. This guy is one SKRONG....yes SKRONG and not STRONG animal. Good shit!!
Great video! just recently started following your page! I am glad! started sharing it now with my friends
That is awesome man, thank you so much for doing that and for sharing it!
One thing I noticed about prioritizing my row, is my pullups not only got stronger, but the speed increased on them a ton. Like a I could do 8 reps with 45 pounds before, but now im doing 60 pounds(plus 3 more pounds bw) for 8 reps at a much faster speed.
That is awesome man and I have definitely seen similar results!
Freakin love these vids. Pushes me to get back in to strongman💪
Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Found you through Alan Thrall, really good stuff man. Thank you for the help.
great video man. I totally agree on benching and rows should be the same! and if anything the rows should be even stronger then bench to be honest. the back is bigger and stronger. I'm happy to see someone actually say it! thanks for video keep em coming man
Hahaha that is great man! A lot of people don't agree but it makes complete sense to me!
Awesome video and explanation
Thanks for the tip. Going to work on getting my row in line with my bench.
It will help a ton man!
