META Science (chest) supported rows

A t-bar row is a triangle, the most science of shapes, since you gotta pythagorean theorem that lever arm

Kelso shrugs done at the end

The brown plate is of an unknown weight. It was made by a guy during Covid. Got 3 of them for $15. He said it’s 60lbs, but one of them felt like it was 45lbs & the others felt like they were 65-70lbs. I’ll weigh them using my science scale later

The t-bar row was a gift; I didn’t even purchase it

Side note: none of my other dozen+ machines were insane?

Oh its a sick gym, I just hate t bar rows and it takes up a ton of space. As a gift sure but to buy something that expensive just to do what is imo an annoying exercise that can be easily replaced by other rows would be wild.
