One Arm Dumbell Rows - Alternative

oscarg Posts: 198 Joined: 2004/04/05	2004/04/23, 02:36 PM I've been trying ouy the programs on this site and I'm on my 2nd week so far. For ony of my back workouts it says to do some One Arm Dumbell Rows only I really do not like doing these. I'm a thin guy but failry strong. Still, I feel ?intimidated? when doing this in the gym. Anyone have an alternative to replace this? Would the T-Bar Machine Row be good?

Although I must say, you'll need to incorporate dumbbell work in any workout (at some point) as you have a greater range of motion, as well as isolation. However, for pure mass, barbell rows, deadlifts and pullups will really help. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever! E-mail: rpacheco@freetrainers.com

You can do a one or two armed seated row. You can also do a standing DB row at a cable machine. There is always an alternative if you thnk about it. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
