Do I really have to do bent over rows for horizontal pulling strength? I can't stop doing pic related while doing them no matter what I try and my spine fucking hurts afterwards.

Just do t-bar rows

deadlifts help

Then lower the weight or better yet DONT FUCKING DO THEM
Do T-bar or bent dumbbell rows you stupid bastard.
Every exercise isn't meant for everyone.

Do any of the million other horizontal pulls avaliable

i prefer one arm db rows. you can do similarly with a barbell with meadows rows.

just do yates rows instead

you need to center your weight better

almost sit back when you do them

>strength

user, you know you don't fucking care, don't lie to yourself. You can get strong and big without barbell rows, there's plenty of variations out there, just find what works for you.

one handed inverted rows

t bar rows

kys

Won't I still have a rounded back problem with these variations other than ?

Fuck you I want to effortlessly rip trees out of the ground. Aesthetics is secondary.

We have chainsaws for that, saws if you are too retarded to manage one

Tbar literally forces your body against a flat plane so

You need to strengthen your core nigga

How about you just don't round your back?

Or you could just pendlay row.

If you can't keep your back straight sounds like you have weak lower back/core, improve your core workout and add hyperextensions to it.

or this

this plus deadlift till you have the back and core strength for bent over rows

Don't go so heavy my man. Should be between your bench and your squat.

LOWER THE FUCKING WEIGHT FAGGOT

Start bridging.
