Row Handle – Wider Grip

Description

Maximize your back development with our Wide Grip Row Handle, featuring a 220mm center-to-center distance for a wider hand position during rowing exercises.

Pros

• Better Scapular Retraction: The 220mm grip provides a better range for retracting your shoulder blades, avoiding chest interference.
• Balanced Muscle Activation: Achieve a good balance between lat and bicep activation for comprehensive back development.
• Enhanced Comfort: Enjoy reduced strain and better control, thanks to the comfortable grip for wrists and shoulders.
• Increased Upper Back Engagement: Enhance activation of upper back muscles, including traps and rear delts, without losing focus on the lats and biceps.

Cons

• Reduced Bicep Engagement: While still effective, a wider grip won’t activate the biceps as much as a narrow grip would.

Grip Comparison

Narrow Grip

• Lengthened Position: Moderate bicep activation, more emphasis on lats.
• Shortened Position: Significant bicep activation due to high elbow flexion, limited scapular retraction.

Slightly Wider Grip (220mm)

• Lengthened Position: Enhanced stretch of lats and upper back, better shoulder extension.
• Shortened Position: Improved scapular retraction and balanced muscle activation, with substantial bicep involvement due to sufficient elbow flexion.

The 220mm grip offers a balanced approach, maintaining significant bicep activation in the shortened position while enhancing lat and upper back engagement throughout the entire range of motion. It’s the perfect compromise for those seeking comprehensive back and bicep development without sacrificing form or comfort.
