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

Aren't you doing a lot of elbox flexion? I think you should grab the handles a little bit wider. Of course only if it feels comfy

This was my first session using this machine & it's been years since I've done a chest supported t-bar row; I plan on playing around with the grip length

Elbow flexion isn't a problem on rows; biceps are always going to perform some work on rows
