I did those one arm rows with the barbell for first time last week. It tore me up. In a great way. Back was sore for first time in a long time. Great stuff! Thanks for vid

First thing that pops out to me is both of you use good form and are using proper weight. The young kids could learn a thing or two by watching you to and using good form instead of just throwing weight around.

You two are so lucky to be able to train together

great vid.
i'll +1 on the great form and correct weight.

one question though....on the pulldowns. what are the benefits/differences keeping more upright and using overhand grip versus underhand grip, and leaning back a few degrees.
i do the latter because the first bothers my shoulder more and i feel the latter targets my lats and midback a bit better. would like to hear your opinion.

Yep, they are a great movement, especially for the lower lat.

We both put a very strong focus on form and proper technique. Without it, most people will have very little longevity in the sport.

Thanks Buddy. Agreed, we are incredibly lucky!

This particular version of a pulldown is something John uses to put a big emphasis on the stretch at the top. This couldn't be accomplished with an underhand grip. We use a very wide variety of rows and pulldowns in our workouts. There are many different ways to perform such a movement, and by sticking to only one of them you are severely limiting your development.

Great vid! Made me sore just watching it. I wish my gym had all the goodies that yours does. Keep up the good work.
