T BAR ROWS

201. T BAR ROWS
A close variation of the barbetl row, the T-bar row is another great back-thickening exercise. Most gyms have a special T-shaped apparatus for this exercise, but a regular barbell (and the V-shaped attachment used on the seated row exercise) will suffice as long as you find a way to keep one end anchored to the floor (either have a training partner hold it down with
his foot or stick the bar in a comer and place a few heavy dumbells or plates on top). Grab the handles or V-shaped apparatus and pull the bar towards the torso. As with barbell rows, try to keep the torso at about a 30-degree angle to the floor and the lower back slightly arched. Return the bar to just short of a locked-out position.
