      to be honest, not many ways to say it. hes biologically correct since he can't say stomach because that references the organ and varying intestines , he could say abs I guess but it "touch your abs" every time sounds overbearing, he could say belly or gut but that kinda has a connotation of it being fat which this asian dude clearly isn't, tummy is the most informal(yet cute) casual way to say it I suppose.

    Another tip is: do them often. Practice makes perfect, and rows are a very 'grateful' excercise: the more you do them, the better you become at them. That's true for every exercise, of course, but I find rows are especially rewarding in that sense, even when performing variations.

    Your tips are really great. What i have ran across with mine is that when i do deadlifts regularly that i dont have any pain in my lower back at all plus i use 25s on the bar instead of plates so that i can stretch far enough without the weight touching the ground. Being 5”8 that was my problem. With 25s on the bar i can bend over to 90 degrees and get good sets. Love the channel and tips.

    Personally, I love using an overhand grip. I usually row with two different variations based on the bodies natural bio mechanics. I’m general, the barbell row will always target your whole entire back. However, you can put slight emphasis on certain parts. I like to row with a closer grip and row lower to my stomach(engages slightly more lats). I also like to sometimes row with a wider grip and aim to hit the top part of my abs to target upper back slightly more. Regardless of the row, while back gets worked. What I don’t understand is when people row with a wide grip but row low to their stomach. It’s contradicting. By doing that, you are limiting the range of motion. Based off the anatomy, when we spread our arms out wide, we can pull back further if we pull towards are chest vs towards our waist. If we keep our arms closer together, anatomically we get more stretch it we pull our arms lower to the waist line.

    I love doing heavy rows with leg and hip drive for sets of 3-5 reps. It's not conventional and doesn't serve a specific purpose other than to make me happier in my workouts.

      I train this style of row up to supplement my deadlift and grip. It definitely helps break heavy weights off the ground.

      Bending too much to the ground may result in disc bulge in rare cases hamstring tear etc so push butt back until u comfortably can and row back to ur lower abdomen is great

    Thanks for posting this. This is a damn difficult exercise for me to do and everyone does it wrong. Not sure how many females are here but I saw so many poor demos and had to come to see the Doc here break it down. You do have females here so what can we do for grip strength improvements lol? We are not doing the moves the dudes do in their private time lol.
    Great vid Dr Mike.
