>power cleans look complicated so i'll just do rows instead
>rows hurt my back so i'll just do weighted chins instead
t-this is okay r-right? weighted chins, deadlifts, barbell shrugs, and a over head press can take care of all the muscles a Row builds up...r-right?

Rows work more than your back. By foregoing them for chinups, you're missing out on a lot of leg development as well, and lower back.
>>37834079
Not really, no.
Find another form of row or fix whatever the fuck it is you're doing to make your back hurt.

My legs are already tree trunks with squats and deads, are you saying the rows would make an even more noticeable difference?
My back can recover from squats and deads, but it can't when I add rows in, hence why I took them out.

>hence why
>>37834146
what's wrong with "hence why"
>>37834051
>i do power cleans instead of high pulls
My back never gets sore after I lift back
It's not too light because I'm failing sets, and I'm doing like 5 different back workouts
>my lats are uneven so ill swap barbell rows for dumbbell rows
who else /sensible/ here?
>>37834234
shit form
>>37834212
it's just not how "hence" is used.
>but it can't when I add rows in, which is why i took them out
would be fine. but if you really wanted to use "hence"
>but it can't when I add rows in, hence the removal of them from my routine
but this sounds clunky.
Any good resources for learning how to powerclean? I've read the chapter in SS but I still need help.

not that guy but i like to specify my decision, not imply it
Scoliofag here, started working out six months after after I had surgery to correct spinal curvature, its been eighteen months since the surgery now. I have metal rods in my spine, so my flexibility isnt that great and some exercises hurt.
My current back workout (its fairly light) is lat pulldowns, chin-ups and seated rows - are there any parts of my back I'm missing, and if so, how should I include them?
>>37834680
everyone who deadlifts and squats will have a much better lower back than you. but idk what you can do
>>37834605
The way rip teaches them is wrong anyway
get a coach or just do another exercise
>>>>37834687
Can squat, and if I worked on hamstring flexibility I could probably deadlift too. Keeping my back straight is actually incredibly easy given my condition.

what did you mean by this?

>>37834103
Please never give advice again until you reach 2.5xBW DL and 1.5xBW chins
>>37834079
Absolutely yes.
