my waist size has went down so much during Ramadan and its only like 10 days in. Strength is still good, but endurance is down, obviously. But I went from a 36 waist to almost a 30 right now, nothing fits, and I have been eating like sh*t at night. in the morning I'm good though, so that must be making a difference, about 750 calories in the morning (clean) and probably 1500-2000 at night give or take.

for db rows, do you find it easier to row off of the bench or rack?

I did em off the bench... if nothing else just out of consideration for others. I never really felt like I got the mind muscle connection from em. And when I was hittin em heavy (3x5x145/hand ) they absolutely nuked my lower back. I just do seated cable rows now. Weighted chins are my main lat move

@Fonsworth

Personally I say the rack I feel like I use less momentum that way.

That said I don't do them very heavy anymore. They are usually part of a super-set with a chest movement so I'm trying to get full range of motion and squeeze.

O I used to do em dead off the floor. Shouts to @semtex

I just started 100 lbs and I noticed that off the bench I'm slinging with the momentum a little bit.

When I superset I do the same though (i.e. use lighter weight)

Yeah, my gym is generally empty so I got carte blanche to do what I want so I'll try em. I like volume and already do the seated cable rows and chins too. Now that you say this I may be doing too much on my back and shoulder day
