What do rows and them hit then?

The entire back. Stop thinking one exercise hits this certain part of the back. It develops the entire back. Does it hit the middle back? Yes, but not just the middle back.

grip position makes them hit different areas.

pronated grip (BB) hits the inner lats (symmetrical wise using the vertebra as the centerline), DB's with a grip facing each other hits more of the outter lats.

I may have that backward tho..

malley, can you verify that??

Honestly I dont believe it isolates any position on the back. Where as you may feel more in an area, all the muscles come into play.

What's your favorite back exercise besides deadlift?

Malley · 07-24-2008, 12:19 PM

Pullups. I cannot believe the people who decide to do pulldowns instead of pullups.
