What's a good replacement for barbell rows?

Chest supported rows prone on bench at incline.

Supine ring rows.

Do RDLs to build lower back so you can do barbell rows.

I may try this

What the hell is a land mine

If you try bands and you're using rows for hypertrophy, assistance or general strength, going slow and focusing on feeling the muscle has worked for me.

It's hard to top rows for power, but you can use bands for a good, slow contraction of the lat and certainly get enough work to balance the pressing movements. If you go for time under tension, you can get good hypertrophy work, and it is really easy on the low back.

Do you have bands? I use them for standing rows, and it's worked fairly well.

I find it easier to target and isolate my back muscles when I sit vs standing. I love my bands. Use them for back flies and curls as well. Also great for blasting the obliques. I call it hammer throws, but have no idea what it's actually called. Stand at a 90 degree angle from the door and twist back and forth while holding the handles with both hands.

If you're open to bands, I'm a big fan of Crossover Symmetry
