Chinese Rows a.k.a Chest Supported Barbell Rows

May 7, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Get a Chinese Back with Chinese Rows a.k.a Chest Supported Barbell Rows or just chest supported barbell rows.

Mike Gray shows you how to do them properly.

Update: Here is Liao Hui doing them. Note the sweeping back in the pull.

Update: Donovan Ford does a variation for Grip Strength, grabbing the plates like in a Reeves Deadlift.

A new grip strength exercise from coach Zygmunt for those lifters with 6'3" wingspans. #weightlifting #usaw #teamjts #hookgrip #hasslefreebbbc #crossfit #dangerzone

         Not even me, but from where I sit it looks like FL row with a barbell, well… core/lower back strength excluded..

    The proper name here in Norway at least, is Bench Pulls (Benktrekk) 🙂
