#5. Old School T-Bar Row
Why: The T-Bar Row targets just about every muscle in the upper back and is one of the absolute best back exercises for improving overall thickness. Performed correctly, T-Bar rows will yield astounding results in both strength and hypertrophy.
Execution: Place one end of a barbell in a landmine attachment or in the corner of wall. Straddle the bar closer to the other end and, facing away from the corner, sit your butt backwards until your chest is parallel with the floor. Using a neutral grip handle, grip the bar and row it all the way up until the handle reaches your chest. Pause then slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position. Repeat for the prescribed number of sets and repetitions.*
*Use 25lb plates instead of 45lb plates. The 45lb plates are bigger and will reduce the total range of motion.
