Build V-Man Lats with Bent-Over Barbell Rowing

An instructional article on the Bent Over Row one of the hardest and most beneficial exercises for back development.  

I recall Roger Walker’s words when he was explaining the exercise to me recently.  “Bent Over Rows was like digging holes in the road.  Very demanding.  I would use about 250lbs or something as that was all I needed to get a benefit.  It was enough!”
