2 variations of BB Row??

[elmariachii]

So a guy at the gym showed me that on back day: he does 2 variations of BB row

First is with the normal Bent over But pulling the BB to your chest.
2nd is with palms facing me and pulling the BB to my waist.

are these 2 solid enough exercises to be done with WG and CG pullups.

Deads is also done

[buffgrk]

yep, looks like a solid routine.

i personally do 2 types of rowing movements + 1 exercise vertical pulling & deads

Sounds good.

Pulling higher on your torso (i.e., to your chest) will get more of the rhomboids and rear delts, adding to back thickness; pulling to your waist will get more of the lats, adding to back width. Since you want your back to be both thick and wide, both variations are good to use in the same workout.

I do the same thing. 4-6 sets alternating between the two.

Would it be safe to assume that if my workout consists of pull-ups (assisted for the moment) and "to the waist" BB rows at a 45*ish angle then I have things covered?

Sometimes I'll do 3 and 3 or 4 and 4 but I've never done 6. Sometimes I just do one type and sometimes I'll do them with the cables.

That's what I meant brah...my bad.

You'd be missing your lower back and traps, which deads would cover.

Yeah, forgot to mention that. Deads included as well. Back workout complete.
