  1. Haha, I don't think I've ever actually done one! Were you giving me a shout-out for turning you onto them, or suggesting I give them a try? Either way, good lookin' out!

  2. I am referring to your blog post on September 12, where you did chest supported rows. Maybe you did a different type than I did?

  3. Oh yeah. Those are the chest-supported T-Bar Rows. Most gyms only have that kind of T-Bar row, as opposed to the free standing kind. Let me know how the supported DB rows work out. The challenge with those kind of movements for me is finding a comfortable position where I can still breathe into my belly.

  4. Interesting you mention the breathing because I often feel the same way when using the T-Bar row machine you are talking about. The DB on an incline bench style did not have nearly as much of that uncomfortable feeling.
