I do t-bar rows just by putting one end of an olympic bar in a corner, load the weights on the other end, then use a v handle attachment over the bar then row. I wanted a way to get a wider grip because the v handle is close grip and I wanted to work my back at a better angle. Normally Id just do a standard wide grip overhand barbell row but the lat blaster allows me to get that wider grip while using my old t-bar row setup. I like using this bar better than standard barbell rows because it seems that it works the upper back well without the stress on the lower back with the bent over row. Also its a lot easier to do drop sets when the weight is basically right in front of you. I still rotate my back exercises as well as grip width on the various exercises but this attachment will get a lot of use.
Theres a T-Bar Row Platform you hook onto a power rack that I am thinking about getting to do the rows with. I have never had a problem with the end of the bar I stick in the corner sliding around but I suppose it could happen. That item should show up on the "customers who bought this item also bought...." area on this items page. |

| This is a great product. I used a sililar set-up at the gym, with a padded rest for me to lay on, and the stretch and size of bar was always awkward to use. This one, along with the T-Bar Row Platform, is, in my opinion, so much better. I can actually use more weight, twice as much, actually, using this set-up than that at the gym, and it feels much more natural. It is worth every penny. |
Great product

| I have always been impressed with the quality of Body Solid products, and this bar is no different. It's very sturdy, and the handle grips are solid and look like they can take a lot of abuse. I do a lot of t-bar rows, and I go pretty heavy. This bar is cambered just right to get a good range of motion. |
Awesome bar.

| Awesome built quality. Perfect angles and spacing of handles. Nice grip on handles also. Love doing t-bar rows now rather than bentover BB-rows, which strains my back. |
Outstanding

| Has ideal size to hit the upper back and lats, huge improvement over working out on t bar row without it. Knob ties perfectly on my standard size bar. I stand on two thick plates to allow for some extra stretch. I also bought the T bar row bracket from TDS becauseit has separate tubes designed for standard bars and olympic size bars. I am very satisfied with my purchase! |
