At my school gym there is no good attachments (including no good low row attachment) that can be used as handles for T-BAR rows. Instead, I have to grab the actual bar to do rows. Is this safe or should I look into buying a low row attachment or T-BAR row handle? If so, where can I find one?

If you spent any time around here, you would know it is pretty hard for me.
I'm just trying to make sure I get the most out of the exercise. I haven't done these before.
Common sense goes a loooonnnnnnnggggggg ways in this sport.-

You could either get a v-handle (parallel grip) attachment, OR row the bar by grabbing it with one hand each time - like a DB row. I'd opt for purchasing the handle.

It's safe, but always bothered me that by default, the lower hand will always have a more difficult pull, all things being equal, due to leverage disadvantage, and your body won't always "feel" the difference, and you can't tell what's pulling harder or being favored. The only way to work around that is by alternating hands upper/lower from set to set.
Another thing about grabbing by the bar itself is that the ROM is significantly different and uses your arms differently than a wider grip, in addition to the middle back and posterior delt ROM's being different.Time To Re-Schedule
