No offence dude but 180lbs on squats after anything more than a few weeks is not good gains and you definitely shouldn't be resetting at that point if you're really doing SS. You need to gain weight...

I'm not a fan, either. He seems very socially awkward. Not at all the big dog he portrays himself as on his forum.

he's not bouncing out the bottom but his knees come in quite a bit

Rows and front squats aren't in SS dude

That's a very good point. I suppose there's worked and then there's worked in a certain way.

I've not been doing chins regularly since I started deadlifts, so I'm quite sure the size has come...

Fair enough about the lats but as I'm doing chin ups as well maybe I should have asked this: what do barbell rows do for your back that deadlifts and chin ups don't?

Almost no experience in them, which is why I made this thread (to find out if they were worth doing). As I said, my whole back (including upper) has gotten bigger from just deadlifts. I'd like to...

Fair enough if you'd have just said lats aren't worked as much but if you call deadlifts a lower back exercise that's just silly...

I'm doing chin ups as well. I'm really considering continuing...

****! Are you serious? You learn what muscles are used in exercises from exrx?

I've just explained how the rhomboids and lats are used and the only other muscles you give me are the ones that...

Is this really the argument for rows? :S

Deadlifts work your upper back. The traps and rhomboids anchor your scapula in place and your lats are used to keep the bar close to the shins.

The biggest change I've noticed in my back from deadlifts has been my upper back

No they don't... What muscles do you think are worked in rows that aren't in deadlifts?

I deadlift a modest 150kg for 5 reps and my entire back has gotten bigger. What would rows do that deadlifts don't, bearing in mind the much heavier load used in deadlifts?

Why did you buy 2 bars?

Thanks but I live in the UK!

How much weight should my belt be able to hold do you think? I don't mind buying a decent one now and a great one later

My friend has one and said he wanted a...

I was more saying to the guy being sarcastic with me :p

That's why i asked if he wanted bigger abs!

Lower reps

Why are you quoting?

Maybe he's trying to 'strengthen' his abs for other 'purposes'
