#bent-over rows

Joey doing bent-over lat rows with the fixed bar, I keep meaning to try this out and forgetting when I get to the gym; I guess I just trust free weights wherever possible, and dumbbells seem like the obvious choice? What’s the benefit here?

Yeah because if you don’t re-rack that motherfucker once you’re done, there is a good chance there won’t be nobody nearby who will be able to. Assa big-ass dumbbell. Jason Lowe waling heavy on his lats.

If you ever feel like the biggest or most motivated guy in your gym, go at an obscure time like a late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. There's a good chance you'll find someone stronger and more dedicated. There's a good chance you'll see a guy at the door at 0455 on a weekday morning waiting for the gym to open. And there's a good chance that if you observe the way he trains and maybe share a few words you'll be humbled and learn a great deal. Because these guys don't wait for a convenient time to train. They don't stay out late during the week because they know they need to train before work to avoid the evening gym rush. They didn't stop training at thirty because it got more difficult to put on muscle and keep off fat. They don't train because it's trending and they don't make excuses. They understand its value and they make it happen. Stay humble. Stay hungry.
