T-Bar Rows

You wont find a single answer to that question. Everyone will have a different opinion. I tend to think that as long as you are somewhere between 0-45 degrees, then youre fine.
Personally Bro I use the forward motion beyond 45 degrees for more of a stretch I let the weight pull my arms and shoulder forward really giving my back a good stretch. I also will put my feet flat on the ground keeping my torso straight perform a row and slightly pausing on the contraction. I find this is great for working the rhomboids. Which normally get left out of our back workouts.
My question is why are you doing T-bar rows... I always hit myself in the balls with the bar.. Do bent over barbell rows instead 
Seriously though.. If you stand up just a little too high it becomes more of an upright row and will work delts and traps more than your lats... Not exactly what you want if your doing t-bar rows...

You got that problem too, Phreezer?
I also agree with Phreeze. Why do t-bar rows? They suck and the BB is far better.

My t-bar row machine's platform is quite raised from the bar - so the ball hitting is nota problem. I think T-bars are great, you are braced against the weight by your legs in such a way that it feels like alot more stress on your back than BB rows. I don't like the smaller range of motion of BB rows, and instead do DB rows, both arms simultaneously - much better stretch and range of motion, plus a hammer grip feels alot better for me

I've been rowing a lot lately, I sorta row my beer up from the floor to get it high enough to take a good belt....and then I let it stretch my lat on the way back down....works pretty damn good. You should see my biceps too!

Are you drunk, Hogg? That's two posts tonight where I've seen you reference drinking beer.
Thats cuz Corona is made with Mexican water. Yuck, that stuff tastes like shit! Even a lime cant mask the taste!Hogg said:

No drinking on school nights and besides, Ms. Hogg is here. I did my beer drinking this weekend and enjoyed the heck out of it.

Closet alcoholic? Seems to me that when the woman is around might be the best time to do the drinking. 1) So she doesn't try and pull some shit later on down the road, "Well, you've never drank around me before, so...." 2) How in the hell else are you supposed to put up with her? Hang out with a woman sober? That's crazy!
Lol...
Oh I feel the pain of this one... Hogg may not have been drinking tonight.. but I've had about two glasses of wine this evening.. and I'm feeling fine, just a nice comfortable buzz.. I do believe that I'll be sleeping like a baby tonight

Nothing like a couple chalices of red and a good night's sleep eh Phreezer? Wine seems to beat me up much moreso than light beer but I still endeavor to enjoy a couple of glasses now and then.
Beer is good food. Bob knows that I've been severely restricting my beer intake, which is hard for me...cuz man is it one helluva past time. If you lift heavy things and drink a good beer, you'd get along peachy with me.
Guiness, all the Sam Adams beers, and all the Redhooks are my favorite for nationwide brands. If you ever have the chance to try Redhook "Nitro", DO IT. It makes Guiness taste like Coors. Delicious. And I don't care what you purists say, Corona and lime tastes damn good out on a sunny beach with a bunch of chicks in bikinis running around next to you (this is aimed at you Bob especially). If Corona doesn't taste good then the beach you're on must not be nice enough.
Now that all us alcoholics have hijacked this thread, I suppose I'll comment on back development.
If you're doing JS style rows, (weighted) chinups, and some kind of pull from the floor, like a deadlift or a powerclean, than your back will be as developed as it could possibly get. There is no need to bust your balls with T-bar rows. But I suppose if you like them, then keep doing them for fun's sake.

I knew I liked you! Well said!

Freddy, Corona sucks no matter what beach, how many topless beauties abound, or how much pot you smoked earlier in the day, it still sucks. No amount of fresh lime could mask the flavor of an impending attack by Montezuma. It sucks and should not be considered beer. I dont like Coors Light, Bud Light, etc, but Id rather drink that moose piss than Corona.
Id much rather take you up on your offer for the Redhook.
