The bent over barbell row isn’t used a lot in CrossFit, but we think it is a great complimentary lift to all the functional movements we perform on a regular basis. It requires a lot of midline stability and shoulder activation, simply to hold the top and bottom positions, so adding load gives us even more bang for our buck! Watch your positions — it is really easy to get pulled out of a good position if you go even a little bit too heavy.
For the press, go heavy across all 5 sets. Start with a load you intend to use for all 5 sets. It will get heavy and you may start to fail, but that’s okay. Just take some off.
