That is about as much as I jerk my body when I perform this lift and I kind of think it's too much. I have a long neck like Jeff and when I saw a cell phone video of myself doing it it's really comical b/c my head is jerking at the opposite direction of my torso. I'm trying to stay as stable as possible, but it's hard when the weight is heavy. I'm not sure how much jerking (no pun intended) is acceptable -- do you think what he's doing in the video is okay? I think it's borderline too much. It's 2 things - he's using momentum to get it going upward, which results in his torso moving up, and then he moves his body down to meet the bar at a lower point, hence the swaying. Is there a degree measurement of how much of this is acceptable?

-Reignunlimited Yes Reign. you're missing the major point. Sometimes people are limited by just ONE single part of an entire range of motion on an exercise. For the bent over row, often it's the start (having to overcome the inertia and get the bar moving. The bands assist you in JUST THIS PART of the motion since they become slack as you raise the bar higher. This allows you to keep the weight heavy at the top and not be limited by what you can use in your weak spot.

-Reignunlimited Reign. no need to start putting others down man. If you're knowledgeable that's cool. Share it with others instead of bashing them. As for your answer of course the initial part of the rep is important, but it depends on what you're targeting at that moment. I'm DEFINITELY still lifting in the beginning of the rep. but in this exercise it's just been made slightly easier so that I don't have to limit the weight I can use for the other 90% of the rep.

This seems a bit wrong to me. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the hardest part of the bend over row the top position? Getting it off the ground or off the rack you just do by deadlifting, and then you go down to a bend over row stance. You see in the video Jeff can't get the barbell up to his chest or his belly and he can't control the weight. Still really like this video series, it's all food for thought. Keep it up, Jeff!

-JDCav24 Make perect sense Jeff. Thanks for all the great information and videos! My wife and I just did the -Leg Circuit- that you have posted here. It was a great time. I modified it a bit for her since squatting on the BOSU was a little too advanced. That's what I really like is that you put us in the -ballpark- and we get to run the bases!

-Reignunlimited If you are really a professional, then that makes your comment even more unprofessional. having a masters, you should have learned how to communicate at a more -professional- level, you're education should have covered effective communicating. and this is not it. This was a very immature, un-educated comment. just saying.

-Schneebly06 The overhand grip, palms facing down would work more of the outer, upper part of the lats to create the width of the back, while the underhang grip, palms facing up would work more of the inner, middle to lower part to give the lats a thicker look and would also involve more biceps than the overhand version

-MrSkilzzy Hey Skilzzy. in my opinion yes. as long as you're choosing high quality brands without any of the filler ingredients. Pure whey protein and pure creatine monohydrate (used no more than 5 grams a day) are ok for 15 year olds and older. Stay away from prohormone and Nitrous oxide products however at your age.
