Trap Bar Rows

November 16, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Added Trap bar rows to the Barbell Rows variations post.

Here they are performed by John Meadows. He says:

I am not a fan of traditional barbells rows (unless done in a smith machine to allow for much better flexing), but the trap bar allows you to use a neutral grip.

This grip will allow you to feel much more compression and squeezing in your lats and feels great!

Don’t lower the bar all the way down. Go down to about 3/4 of the way and drive your elbows up flexing your lats.
