Pain when rowing

[JohnnyPro]

When I do barbell rows with heavy weight I get a pain in what I think is the kidney area. Have you experienced that and what can I do about it?

I had similar issue when doing bb rows, deadlifts. For me, it means I need to see the chiro. Couple visits and i'm good. What type of pain? Sore, burning, stiffness or fullness?

if it hurts don't do it... maybe lighten up a bit and focus more on the contraction.

this happens to some of my clients who have tight hamstrings. they end up rounding at the lower spine in order to keep their chest low. if they warm up with a few light sets of flat backed romanian DL's (making sure to keep chest open and up), they generally can keep a better low back alignment during the set.


i also have them use 2 Dbs for the rows instead of a barbell.

A good chiropractor is priceless. Also, if there's is pain then there is a weakness that needs to be identified and corrected. I always look to fix what's weak.

Pain in the muscle area ?

Ditto

Ditto to what Bunyan said! A good chiropractor, and if you can find an active release therapist (ART) Is imperative for any athletes/hardcore lifters. Usually twice a month is more than enough unless you have major problems or a shister!! Unless seriously injured, dont take the line from a chiro that says you have to go in 3 times a week for more the next 6 months!
