The Barbell Row starts with the bar on the floor. And the bar returns to the floor on every rep. You don-t keep the bar in the air between reps (those are Yates Rows. You pull from the floor so you can set your lower back neutral, breathe and use your hip muscles. Proper form on Barbell Rows is similar to Deadlifts: each rep starts and ends on the floor. Here-s how to Barbell Row with proper form in five simple steps-
Walk to the bar. Stand with your mid-foot under the bar. Don-t touch it with your shins. Medium stance, toes pointing out.
Grab the bar. Use a medium grip width. Narrower than on Bench Press, wider than on Deadlifts. Hold the bar low in your hands.
Unlock your knees. Keep your hips higher than on the Deadlift. Bend your knees but keep them back so the bar can-t hit them.
Lift your chest. Straighten your back. Don-t move the bar. Don-t drop your hips. Don-t squeeze your shoulder-blades together.
Row. Take a big breath, hold it and pull the bar against your lower chest. Lead with your elbows and pull them to the ceiling.

Does this also apply to a bench press/push ups? This bench doesn't seem to hurt my shoulders. Push ups even healed my shoulders.
I do my rows explosively and from the ground. The momentum will push my arms backwards letting the bar touch my chest, basically a bench press. It's only when I try to hold it on my chest, then the shoulders start to hurt a bit. But not with light weight.
So why do bench/push up not hurt but rows do? Do muscles (Rear delts, which contract to hold the bar close to the chest, cause upper arm to come forward?

Dude, you just cured the pain in my shoulders! I couldn't figure out why it hurt when I rowed - it felt like something wrong with the lateral delt when I was doing the rows, but the day after rowing, it would feel like something wrong inside the shoulder joint. It was starting to affect by bench press and other exercises. Am now only pulling my elbows as far back as the scapula can move my arms, and it's much better. Am working on increasing the range of scapular retraction with banded pullups. Many thanks, Jeff!

Just a question Jeff
in another video about seated cable rows you mentioned that you should keep your scapulae pinched throughout the whole exercise so that the rhomboids act as solid ground for lat contraction.
my question is: is it also correct to pinch them in every rep as I pull my arms backward just like I would do with a barbell row (like in this videos) because that would also be better for rhomboids and traps development?
THANX! AND LOVE YOUR VIDS!

How does this relate to pull-ups! The last few reps I'll notice my shoulders rounding a bit, i. e. It's tough to keep the shoulder blades fully retracted throughout the set? Or do we retract the shoulders then contract? Or do we keep them contracted throughout the pull-up set? I. e. -Keeping your chest out, sternum up, as oppose to pulling straight down as though to your sides?

Hi,
Firt off: thanks a lot for all your great advice!
my question:
what does this mean for pec exercises (particularly DB bench press? risk of injury aside (obvious, does this mean that letting tbe arm retract (be pushed) past the scapular RoM, that the front delt will be more likely to take over? what would be your tip for this in relation so pressing movements?

In my Opinion Yates Row is more likely to cause this type of impingement. Once I was doing them and my right upper traps/front shoulder got rounded and activated more. Next when doing OHPs, in the last rep right shoulder rounded at the bottom, felt a sharp pain, pressed the weight, racked the bar. After that couldn't move my right arm up for 3 weeks.
