How many sets of bent over rows should I do?

Form tips: Make sure to drive your elbows back down towards your hips. And don’t round your back as the hinge. Keep it flat when you bend down. Sets/reps for best results: 12-15 reps at moderate weight for three sets or 6-12 reps at a moderately heavy weight for three sets.

What is a heavy bent-over row?

Are bent-over rows good for hypertrophy?

The bent-over barbell row shifts the emphasis to your upper body, making it a better lift for bulking up your upper back and forearms. Each repetition is done with a bodybuilding lifting tempo, lifting explosively and lowering slowly and under control. This helps to build muscle on both the way up and the way down.

Can I hip thrust with EZ bar?

Which is better pull ups or bent-over rows?

In a pullup, you’re likely to feel your biceps and lats working more actively than you would in a bent-over row; and in a row, you’ll experience more pectoral, quad and hamstring activation than in a pullup. Alternating bent-over rows also require more core stabilization and oblique activation than pullups.
