    Arm Positioning During Machine Row, Safety of Reverse Flye

    Got a question (trying to define a new workout I'll start about a month after I'm sure I'm 100%)

    How should the arms be at the middle of a row [when you've finished puling the weight towards you]: should the elbows be up at shoulder level, or tucked in to the ribs?

    Once I get started again, I'm not doing any real pushing exercises, as I've got a gross imbalance between my anterior and posterior deltoids.

    Also, on the reverse flye . . . is it safe?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Vash, it depends on what part of your back you're working with your rows. If you keep your arms up even with your shoulders, you will be working more traps, rear delts, and rhomboids. If your arms go lower, you shift most of the emphasis to the lats.

    AFAIK, reverse flys are safe, but if you have a back problem you might want to do them lying on a bench.

    Why are you doing these ghey exercises?



    Uh...keep your elbows tucked. That's what you're supposed to do for bent-over barbell rows.

    Not a big fan of the bent-over exercises. Having that hang-down was never any good for my shoulders, and the back doesn't like it much, either.
