Best overall row for upper back?

[NorViking96]

What is the best exersiece for my upper back? Like the overall best row to stimulate the upper back the most, my lats grow easy but i struggle to get my upper back to grow, like the traps, rhomboids, rear delt etc.

Possibly a T bar (not landmine) row or wg Pendlay

Cable and db rows also deserve a mention

[ZT89]

Combination of Trap Deadlifts or Olympic Bar Rack Pulls, Seal Rows and Band Face Pulls (paused) should cover it.

[ECGordyn]

Good mentions above, but be sure to track your elbows differently to emphasize different back muscles.

Elbows out, pull to the chest = more upper back
Elbows close to the body, pull to the abs = more lats

It's not only the type of row that you do, but it's how you do the row.

All of the above, I like a high pull as well (DB or Cable)

[NorViking96]

The thing is that my gym dont got any t bar row attatchment, and there is no chest supported row with elbows out rowed to the chest. I tried Seal row but the benches are to think and the bar path stops because off the bench.

I could do cable row with wide grip rowed to the chest, but i feel like cables dont cut it over barbell rows like t bar row. I could do barbell rows but i feel it in my lats the most.

Am i right that with a wider grip rowed to the chest more upper back muscles get worked and with an closer grip more the lats?

If i do both barbell row and wide grip cable row, would it cut it for upper back without having an wide grip barbell row / t bar row?

[doza808]

i like to use the seated cable row with a lat pulldown attachment. Then use my elbows to pull toward my upper chest and squeeze at the top.

Is there much difference in a wide grip row to the stomach vs to the chest?

The back is too complex for you to create your own programming. In sure Wide grip pulled to the stomach has a name but is not in any program I've seen. Therefore yes it's different.

Disclaimer: More focus on lats. I also did these for the first time yesterday, so don't take my word for it. But a good row, none the less.

[EctoAesthetix]

Not exactly a row but I feel like I got the best results by focusing on weighted pull ups/chin ups

Upper back, like the traps, rhomboids, rear delts? The inverted row on a suspension trainer with a neutral grip. Pull to your shoulders, not the chest or belly.

[Olli180]

The Yates Row is great for traps and rhomboids, rack pulls aswell

[Olli180]

Try the overhand Yates Row. It will feel weird at first, but it’s a great exercises. Also any types of pulls of a rack.

Literally all you need to know.
