I widen my grip and it seemed to help. When I would get to the top I think I was trying to pull too far backward causing me to pull with my arms as well as my back. I really do appreciate the advice, I might not agree with all of it. And I won't say its not right just that I might not use it till later on when I quit gaining.

Some of the advice being given is personal preferance, but I am telling you that you are not getting any benefit out of pulling with your arm, it will only lead to a torn bicep.

I meant you were 100% right about the deadlift form. I took my grip wider and it seemed to help.

Hey DM, I noticed a lot of people have commented, so I'm not gonna say too much, however, I do notice that with bent over rows, it really works your back if you do it at a relatively perfect 45 degree angle. Just saying

or even close to it. LOL! I just watched it again. Yeah, get a little more bend, you are too upright.

Attempt at correct form
Did a little back tonight, took the general theme of everyones advice or tried to, upon looking at this vid I probably could have been a bit more bent over. I'll try a full 90 degree bend next time. Also sorry for the quality couldn't find a video camera, just moved.

You dont need to bend over any farther on those rows, doing them at a 90 degree bend is only going to compromise your lower back, its not going to give you any greater stimulation in the lats

After 5 sets, that's a lot of work. Good training. I have to disagree a bit with some of the others though. If you feel the back muscles working, and your getting a contraction and a stretch, strict form isn't needed. Look at Ronnie Coleman.
Keep doing your thing! All the best.

Thanks, I tend to alternate whether I'll try to go heavy and loosen the form or tight with lighter weights. I feel both have their place as long as the form doesn't get so bad that your going to injure yourself. I did notice on the ones at a 45 angle I felt it a lot more in my mid back. The way I did them in that video I feel more in my lats. To each their own.
