    What the hell does it matter what weight someone else uses? How does that effect what weight you should be doing in any way?

    If you're doing 6 reps then just make sure you can't row the weight you're using more than about 8 times at most, in fact you probably shouldn't be able to row it any more than 6 times. If you can row it for far more reps than the number you're using, up the weight, simple as that.

    i try to stay in the 185 to 205 range,dont get me wrong,i could row 275 if i wanted to but my form would suck and id eventually catch a nasty injury,i feel the lighter weight better and get a much better squeeze at the top

    just last week I was rowing 421985 lbs for sets of 7. Not 6 cause I didn't want to get huge, and not 8 cause I don't want long lean muscles. 7 reps cause I want to be big but not huge, and get some definition. Yup, 7 reps is the magic number for just about all exercises... except curls.
