Can I rewrite this page? Hope I didn't offended anyone. Anyway, if so, you can always put back the old article here.

[edit] hopefully accurate ascii-art

I always heard that the triangle muscles were the lats so I added some ascii-art to that effect. I don't hve a copy of Gray's Anatomy handy so I haven't checked this out.

Nice ASCII art :) Moving it here, as I just replaced it with a png image.

Visually, the lats are the "\ /" in

[edit] Rows

Hi, just wondering, what's the difference between a bent over row and a dumbell row?

Bent-over rows are performed sitting, with a bend at the waist (about 45-90º) The motion is more or less the same as all other rows-- pulling the arm(s) in towards the body and pulling back the scapula. They can be performed with a barbell, dumbbells, or even kettlebells. A good example of the dumbbell bent-over row can be found [1]. Dumbbell rows are most often performed one arm at a time as in the example.

Both barbell and dumbbell rows can be bent-over or "straight" (with no waist bend.) Straight rows, naturally, are a bit tricky to perform-- they require either a machine with pulleys, lying prone on a bench with the bar on the floor, or performing the exercise as a supine chinup with the feet supported (example.)
