How do you guys feel about BORs? I did this set really strictly with no leg drive/lower back involved because Keith Wassung posted that sloppy/cheat rows can lead to injury. However I have also read that Carnal claims that is not the case, and that cheat rows are more effective for strength gains. What do all you do?
 
When I do BOR I basically get down in a deadlift position and start pumping out BOR. I am in between strict form and sloppy form. I try to keep my back straight and absorb most of the bouncing in my legs. I don't like doing them strick, I sort of feel personally like it makes it an isolation movement.
 
Thats good to hear, I do them with the same technique, but I deadlift the bar then do the rows a little higher up than you.

Been feeling sick since a couple days ago so haven't gotten around to posting. Maybe I'll get back in the gym tomorrow if I'm feeling better.

Hit 65s again, didn't want to push my luck

Core work, alot of stretching since I want to be able to hit my squat and deadlift form as soon as I get to the new gym.

I also worked with some dumbbell snatches and have decided im going to try and add them to my routine somewhere.
