What is this exercise called? Gym brahs help.

The one where you lay on your stomach on the bench and basically row the weight above you?

Came in expecting cable neck extensions

Row? As if you were seated to do do pulldowns but lie down on your back on the bench?

I don't know if I'm picturing it correctly but it sounds like a variation of a cable row. Rather than seated, you just lay down. But it's still a row which works the lats and builds thickness as opposed to width (which pulldowns and pullups do).

Oh wait, you said lie on your stomach and row the weight above you. I can't actually picture what you're talking about.

I think you boyos might be right. I didn't know this variant had a name, now I do. Probably better than normal rows, since your chest is supported and torso on a flat plane you can get a greater ROM and since you can rest it for a second on the ground between reps, the movements can be more explosive too.

I was gonna say rows too but maybe you’re talking about pec flyes ?
